Sodium Hydroxide → 2,6-Dibromoanthracene

Participants

Reaction Steps

30 g of 2,6-dibromoanthraquinone, 5 g of Zn and 25 g of NaOH were stirred in 200 mL of water at 100° C. for 24 hours and when the reaction was complete, the reaction materials were filtered. The thus-obtained organic material and inorganic material were dissolved in chloroform and the resulting mixture was re-filtered. The obtained filtrate was applied to a silica gel short column, thereby separating the inorganic material. The separated material was recrystallized from MC and MeOH, thereby obtaining 15 g of 2,6-dibromoanthracene.
