Reaktionsschritte

200 g (1.5 moles) of powdered aluminium chloride and 40 g (684 mmol) of sodium chloride are heated together at 140°-150° C. After about 1.5 hours, 40 g (136 mmol) of 2-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-naphthalene-3-carboxylic acid are added to the melt. The dark red mixture is stirred at 140°-150° C. for one hour. Hydrolysis is then carried out at about 100° C. by slowly adding ice-water. The precipitate is filtered off and stirred with 10% sodium carbonate solution. It is then washed neutral with water and dried. The resulting product is sublimed at 230° C. 13.1 g (70% of theory) of 2-fluoro-5,12-naphthacenequinone are obtained.
