Alizarin is a dihydroxyanthraquinone dye compound with CAS number 72-48-0 and the molecular formula C14H8O4. Historically obtained from madder root, it is now widely used as a synthetic organic colorant and reagent.
Alizarin is used as a dye and mordant colorant, as a pH and metal-ion indicator, and as a staining reagent in histology and analytical chemistry. It also serves as a building block for other anthraquinone derivatives in research.
Alizarin is an orange-red crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 240.214 g/mol. It is poorly soluble in water but dissolves in alkaline solutions and many organic solvents, and it forms colored complexes with metal ions.
Keep Alizarin in a closed container, protected from light, in a cool and dry area. Follow standard laboratory handling practices and review the SDS before use, as the dye can stain skin, clothing, and surfaces.
