Reaction Steps

German Offenlegungsschrift (German Published Specification) 2,162,538 describes the nitration of anthraquinone in nitric acid, of concentrations exceeding 90%, the molar ratio of anthraquinone to nitric acid being at least 1:20. A part of the by-products can be removed by diluting the acid with water, so that 1-nitroanthraquinone is obtained in 74.5% yield, but its purity does not exceed 92%.
