Description

9H-Xanthen-9-one

9H-Xanthen-9-one (CAS No.: 90-47-1, CAT No.: SRCX-002), also known as Xanthone, is a tricyclic aromatic ketone and the parent compound of the xanthone class. This colorless-to-light purple crystalline substance possesses a xanthene core with a keto group at position 9. Xanthone is valued both in research and industry for its versatile chemical reactivity and widespread occurrence in nature.

Xanthone serves as a crucial intermediate for synthesizing various dyes, pigments, and fluorescent molecules. In addition, it is a core scaffold in medicinal chemistry, being the basis for a range of natural products and synthetic derivatives with demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. Due to its photophysical attributes, including fluorescence, 9H-xanthen-9-one is also utilized as a fluorescent probe and optical material in chemical and biological research.
