Abstract

A process for producing 1-aminoanthraquinones represented by the formula (C) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, independently from each other, denote one type selected from a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and a halogen atom, which comprises converting 5-nitro-1,4,4a,9a-tetrahydroanthraquinones respresented by formula (A) ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above, into 1-hydroxylaminoanthraquinones represented by formula (B) ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above, in the presence of a basic compound, and electrolytically reducing the resulting 1-hydroxylaminoanthraquinones in the presence of a basic compound.
