1-Pentanol → HCID 23316292, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

7.7 g of pentyl 1-amino-4-nitroanthraquinone-2-carboxylate, prepared from 1-amino-4-nitroanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid chloride and n-pentanol, 2.7 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 2.7 g of 4-methylthiophenol are introduced into 50 cc of N-methylpyrrolidone, and the mixture is heated to 125°-130° C. in the course of 1 hour and is stirred at this temperature until, after about 1.5 hours, complete reaction has been achieved. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool and is diluted at 40° C. with 20 cc of water. When the mixture has cooled completely, the dyestuff which has been precipitated is filtered off with suction and washed with a mixture of N-methylpyrrolidone and water and then with hot water. After drying at 60° C., 6.7 g of n-pentyl 1-amino-4-(4-methylphenylmercapto)-anthraquinone-2-carboxylate are obtained, corresponding to a yield of 72% of theory. The dyestuff can be purified by recrystallisation from dimethylformamide.
