Abstract
A process is disclosed for the preparation of mononitro derivatives of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-anthraquinone from 1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydro-anthraquinone, in which a thermal pretreatment of the 1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydro-anthraquinone is carried out in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst in an inert atmosphere and in the absence of oxidizing or reducing agents, the anthraquinone by-produced as well as the catalyst are separated and the mixture of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9,10-anthracenediol and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-anthraquinone obtained is subjected to a nitration reaction.
