Abstract

1-Aminoanthraquinone (1-AAQ) is synthesized by the reaction of 2-chlorobenzyl chloride and xylene in the presence of a solid acid catalyst to yield 2-chloro dimethyldiphenylmethane, subsequent oxidation of the methyl groups, ring closure to form a 1-chloroanthraquinone carboxylic acid, replacement of the 1-chloro group with ammonia, and decarboxylation.
