An efficient one-pot synthesis of anthraquinone derivatives catalyzed by alum in aqueous media

Abstract: Alum (KAl(SO 4 ) 2 ×12H 2 O) performs as a novel catalyst for the synthesis of anthraquinone derivatives from phthalic anhydride and substituted benzenes in good to excellent yields (70Á96%) using water as a solvent at ambient temperature. Several solvents were examined for this reaction; however, in terms of reaction yield and time, water was found to be the optimum solvent. The remarkable advantages offered by this method are an inexpensive and easily available catalyst, a simple procedure, mild conditions, … Show more

“…Recently, the synthesis of anthraquinone derivatives has attracted significant interest. Various synthesis methods have been reported, the most common of which is the intramolecular condensation of aryl and O -arylbenzoic acids, using fuming sulfuric acid, benzoyl chloride, concentrated sulfuric acid, benzoyl chloride, zinc chloride, and POCl 3 /P 2 O 3 C l4 as catalyst, which produces anthraquinone derivatives [ 18 ]. Anthraquinone and its associated derivatives were previously synthesized by a chemical pathway, although this method was expensive and involved several hurdles [ 19 ].…”

“…Anthraquinones are a group of naturally occurring important compounds that can also be obtained synthetically (Madje et al 2010;Puenner et al 2013;Seidel et al 2013;Xu et al 2010). The economic significance of anthraquinones such as in manufacture of dyes and pigments have caused advanced studies to be conducted, which focused on optical spectroscopy and photochemistry properties of the compound (Gordon & Gregory 1983).…”

“…[1][2][3]. Anthraquinone structural motif is present in many natural dyes, pigments, vitamins, enzymes etc [4]. Among 700 natural anthraquinones identified, about 200 compounds were isolated from plants and remaining from lichens, fungi and others [5][6].…”
