1-Nitroanthraquinone → 1-Aminoanthraquinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

500 Parts of water, 20 parts of hydrazine hydrate and 100 parts of 30% sodium hydroxide solution are heated to 70°. 51 Parts of 1-nitro-anthraquinone are entered over the course of 1 hour. The temperature of the reaction mixture is kept at between 70° and 75°. After the addition of the whole amount of 1-nitroanthraquinone, the suspension is heated to 80° and stirred for 1 hour. 70 Parts of 40% sodium hydroxide solution are subsequently added. The reaction mass is then stirred at 90° over the course of 90 minutes and filtered. The precipitate is washed with water until the filtrate is colourless and neutral, and then dried. 43 Parts of 1-amino-anthraquinone are obtained.
