Abstract

Process for the preparation of 1-nitroanthraquinone by nitration of anthraquinone in the presence of highly concentrated nitric acid, characterised in that nitration is carried out at temperatures of 20.degree. to 80.degree.C, the reaction is terminated by lowering the nitric acid molar fraction in the reaction mixture to .ltoreq.0.85 by distilling off concentrated nitric acid and 1-nitroanthraquinone is precipitated by subsequently adjusting the nitric acid molar fraction to .ltoreq.0.7 to 0.4 and is separated off in a manner which is in itself known.
