Abstract:
An improvement in the process for the production of 1-amino-4nitroanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid from 1-aminoanthraquinone-2carboxylic acid by reaction with formaldehyde in concentrated sulfuric acid and nitration of the reaction product into 1,2dihydro-6-nitro-7,8-diphthaloyl-3,1,4H-benzoxazone-4 followed by hydrolysis of the same. The improvement consists in precipitating the benzoxazone derivative by adding a precipitant, hydrolyzing the isolated benzoxazone derivative in aqueous solution and precipitating the 1-amino-4-nitro-anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid from the alkaline solution by acidification. 1-amino-4nitroanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid is obtained in a purity of 95 percent by weight or more.
Abstract:
Improvement in the process for the manufacture of 3aminobenzoylbenzoic acids by catalytic reduction of the 3-nitro compounds, the improvement consisting in the reduction of the aqueous alkali metal salt solution of the 3-nitro compound in the presence of boric acid, its alkali metal or ammonium salts or mixtures thereof and in the presence of Raney nickel or nobel metal catalysts using hydrogen at atmospheric or slightly elevated pressure. The corresponding 3-aminobenzoylbenzoic acids are obtained in high yield.
Abstract:
Improvement in the process for the production of anthraquinoneoxazoles of the formula:
IN WHICH R is 1-anthraquinonyl, 2-anthraquinonyl or 1,9anthrapyrimidyl-(2) which may bear amino, halogen, cyano or nitro as a substituent, by condensation of an ohaloacylaminoathraquinone of the formula:
IN WHICH Hal is chloro or bromo in the presence of a salt of a weak acid with a strong base while heating. The improvement consists in carrying out the condensation in a water-miscible strongly polar aprotic solvent.
Abstract:
Production of amides of 1-aminoanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid which bear hydrogen, cyclohexylamino, chloro, bromo or nitro as substituent in the 4-position by reaction of 1,2-dihydro-7,8diphthaloyl-3,1,4H-benzoxazone-4:
IN WHICH R2 is H, Cl, Br, NH-cyclohexyl or NO2, with an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic amine of one to eight carbon atoms in the molar ratio 1:1. Some of the amides are disperse dyes but particularly they are intermediates for the production of disperse dyes.
Abstract:
PRODUCTION OF BZ-1-BZ-1''-DIBENZANTHRONYL SULFIDES FROM HALOGEN-SUBSTITUTED BZ-1-BENZANTHRONES CHRACTERIZED BY THE USE OF AN ETHER ALCOHOL AS SOLVENT AND OF AN ALKALI METAL SULFIDE.
