Procedure

A mixture of thionyl chloride (320 g) and 1,4-diamino anthraquinone (20 g) is refluxed for 24 hours. The mixture is then cooled and poured onto crushed ice. The precipitate is filtered, dried and purified by recrystallization from carbon tetrachloride. The yield is 50 percent 2-chloro-1,4-diamino anthraquinone with a melting point of 207° C. to 210° C.
