Participants

Reaction Steps

2,6-dihydroxyanthraquinone (1.19 g, 4.98 mmol) and diethyl(4-bromobutyl)phosphonate (3.0 g, 10 mmol) were heated at 60 ° C. in 5 ml DMF in the presence of 0.8 g of K2CO3 for 72 hours. The solution was extracted with CH2Cl2. The CH2Cl2 solution was dried, leaving a yellow solid. The ester was purified by column chromatography. The bisphosphonate ester was converted to the acid by overnight stirring with 4-fold excess of bromotrimethylsilane in dry dichloromethane followed by addition of water. The bisphosphonic acid derivative was washed with CH2Cl2, filtered and collected.
