Alizarin - Alizarin (English spelling)

Japanese: アリザリン - ありざりん(英語表記)alizarin
Alizarin - Alizarin (English spelling)

It is the main component of the pigment obtained from the roots of the madder plant, which can dye fabric a fast and beautiful Turkish red. It is one of the oldest natural dyes in the world. It has also been used in Japan as madder, but today it has been replaced by other synthetic dyes. Its chemical structure is 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone, and it is synthesized by fusing sodium anthraquinone-2-sulfonate with sodium hydroxide in air. The paint madder is an aluminum complex salt (chelate) of alizarin.

The chemical synthesis of alizarin (1868) by H. Caro, K. Grebe, and K.T. Liebermann in Germany and W.H. Perkin in England marked the beginning of what became a vast field of anthraquinone synthetic chemistry.

Japanese:

布を堅牢(けんろう)で美しいトルコ赤に染めることのできる、アカネの根から得られる色素の主成分。世界最古の天然染料の一つである。日本でも洋茜(ようあかね)として用いられてきたが、今日では他の合成染料によって置き換えられている。化学構造は1,2-ジヒドロキシアントラキノンで、アントラキノン-2-スルホン酸ナトリウムを空気下で水酸化ナトリウムと溶融して合成される。絵の具のマダーmadderは、アリザリンのアルミニウム錯塩(キレート)である。

 ドイツのH・カロ、K・グレーベ、K・T・リーベルマン、イギリスのW・H・パーキンらによるアリザリンの化学合成(1868)は、広大な領域となったアントラキノン合成化学の端緒となった。
