Phenazine from TCI (product code P0082) is an aromatic heterocyclic compound built from three fused rings. Two of these rings contain nitrogen atoms that sit directly opposite each other. In organic chemistry laboratories it serves as a building block for more complex phenazine derivatives, such as dyes, coordination ligands, and model compounds for natural metabolites. Researchers in synthetic chemistry, materials chemistry, and natural product chemistry use it as a reliable starting point for a wide range of reaction routes.
The flat, fully conjugated phenazine framework makes this compound redox-active. Phenazine readily accepts and donates electrons, so it is often studied as an electron mediator and as a component of organic semiconductor materials. Both of its nitrogen atoms can bind metal ions, which also makes phenazine useful in coordination chemistry. The same framework appears in many natural antibiotics produced by bacteria, so its derivatives are relevant to biological and pharmaceutical research. Because purity is kept consistent from batch to batch, experimental results are easier to reproduce.
In Indonesia, phenazine is in steady demand in organic chemistry laboratories at universities and at materials research centres. Research groups use it in synthesis projects, electrochemistry studies, and student research on heterocyclic compounds. Laboratories that work with redox-active materials, metal complexes, or analogues of bacterial metabolites find it a practical, well-defined starting material. AMI Scientific supplies it as part of the TCI heterocyclic building block range for academic and industrial research users.
