Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around xanthen-3-one and its derivatives, focusing on its properties, biological effects, and relevant references for further research. Participants seek clarification on the terminology and chemical identity, as well as specific information for an essay on the topic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions whether "xanthen 3 one" is the same as xanthan, suggesting it might be a German spelling.
  • Another participant clarifies that "xanthen-3-one" indicates a ketone functionality at the three position, but expresses uncertainty about what "xanthen" refers to.
  • It is proposed that xanthen-3-one is more commonly known as fluorone, with references to ChemSpider and PubChem for chemical properties and biological effects.
  • Participants suggest using the CAS number (494-41-7) for easier searching in databases like SciFinder.
  • One participant confirms that fluorone's IUPAC name is xanthen-3-one, indicating a potential resolution to the naming confusion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying degrees of uncertainty regarding the terminology and chemical identity of xanthen-3-one, with some suggesting it is synonymous with fluorone while others remain unclear about the term "xanthen." No consensus is reached on the exact nature of xanthen-3-one.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion regarding the definitions of terms used, and the participants do not fully resolve the relationship between xanthen-3-one and xanthan or fluorone. The discussion also lacks specific data on the influence of xanthen-3-one on receptors, enzymes, or E. coli.

I need to write essey about xanthen 3 one and its derivatives. But the problem is that on internet there is so little data about xanthen 3 one. Does anyone know is xanthen 3 one same as xanthen ? Does it have other name ? Any information would be great help. These are just some questions I need to answer in order to write essay about it :
How they work ?
How they influent on receptors, enzymes ?
What is its pdb base and code ?
Is there any data about its influenting on E. coli ?

You don't need to answer just help me with references please :)

Do you mean xanthan? I think xanthen might be the German spelling, but most names for chemicals use English in what you would search for.

Try this link to start with: https://books.google.com/books?id=Q...PBP8Q6AEIKjAE#v=onepage&q=xanthan 3.1&f=false

Also I am not sure what you mean by the '3 one' - can you provide some context - for example is this about the Xanthomonas bacterium? It makes xanthan gum from carbohydrates. Xanthan is used in cooking as a thickener.

Sorry this is best I can do.

" -3-one " indicates a "ketone" functionality at the "three" position, but no idea what "xanthen" is.

Looks like xanthen-3-one is more commonly known as fluorone. Chemspider.com is a good place to look up chemical properties of a substance, and pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov is a good place to look up the biological effects of a compound. Searching for information about the compound may be easier using its CAS number (494-41-7), especially if using a database like SciFinder.

I also found that fluorone's Iupac name is xanthen 3 one :) Thanks this might help.
