Disperse Violet 27 (CI 60724) is a chemical compound, a synthetic purple dye with an anthraquinone unit and is also known as Disperse Violet 23.

Chemical Name

•  1-anilino-4-hydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione

Dyes that contain anthraquinone (an organic aromatic compound derived from anthracene) are characteristically bright in colour.

Chemical Industrial Synthesis Process

• Preparation of reagents. The main raw materials include phthalic anhydride, benzene, and concentrated sulfuric acid.
• Synthesis of anthraquinone intermediate. The production of CI 60724 begins with the condensation of phthalic anhydride with benzene in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid, forming the anthraquinone intermediate.
• Substitution. The anthraquinone is further treated with specific reagents to introduce functional groups that impart the desired color. This may include sulfonation, nitration, or other substitution reactions.
• Oxidation. The functionalized structure undergoes an oxidation reaction to complete the formation of the anthraquinone chromophore, which is responsible for the coloring properties of CI 60724.
• Purification. The crude CI 60724 product is purified using techniques such as crystallization, filtration, and chromatography to remove impurities and achieve a high-purity colorant.
• Stabilization. The purified CI 60724 is stabilized to ensure its stability during transportation and storage, preventing degradation and oxidation.
• Quality control. The CI 60724 undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure it meets standards for purity, color intensity, and safety. These tests include chemical analysis, spectroscopy, and microbiological testing.
