1-Chloroanthraquinone → Anthrimide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the procedure as descrilbed in Example 1, but suspending the 1-chloroanthraquinone, 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone, sodium carbonate and CuCl in 300 ml of nitrobenzene, the anthrimide is obtained in a yield corresponding to that of Example 1. When following a conventional procedure, i.e. mixing the components and heating them slowly, if such a concentrated reaction mixture is employed, the reaction can no longer be carried out in an agitator vessel.
