Chemical compound

9,10-Dihydroxyanthracene is an organic compound with the formula C14H10O2. It is the hydroquinone form of 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ). It formed when AQ is hydrogenated. It is easily dissolved in alkaline solutions and is often called soluble anthraquinone (SAQ).

In the anthraquinone process, hydrogen peroxide is manufactured as one of the products in the oxygen-mediated oxidation of a substituted 9,10-dihydroxyanthracene to its corresponding anthraquinone, such as 2-ethylanthraquinone.
