Violanthron ( CI Vat Blue 20 ) is a quinoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon . The compound belongs to the carbonyl dyes and is used as a vat dye .
Manufacturing
Starting from benzanthrone ( 1 ), a mesomeric-stabilized anion ( 2 ) is obtained under basic conditions , which dimerizes spontaneously in the presence of an oxidizing agent . The dimerization product ( 4 ) can cyclize under alkaline conditions and a temperature of 180-225 ° C. to form violanthrone ( 5 ) .
Black vat dyes are obtained by nitrating Violanthron, although the exact number and substitution sites of the nitro groups is not known. The nitro compound can be reduced to the corresponding amine derivative , the dye CI Vat Green 9.
