Reaktionsschritte

79.5 g of 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone, 210 ml of water, 5.6 g of sodium dithionite, 60 g of 50% strength by weight sodium hydroxide solution and 240 g of 25% strength by weight ammonia solution were introduced into a pressure-resistant apparatus. The apparatus was then sealed pressure-tight and its contents were heated to 100° C., giving rise to an autogenous pressure of 2.5 bar. The reaction mixture was held under these conditions for 3 h, then cooled down and depressurized. The precipitate found was filtered off with suction, washed salt-free with water and dried to leave 74.9 g of 1-amino-4-hydroxyanthraquinone (purity according to GC: 90.7%).
