An aqueous phase air oxidation process for the for the preparation of unsubstituted and substituted quinacridone pigments is disclosed. The process involves an oxidation step wherein a 6,13-dihydroquinacridone is converted to the corresponding quinacridone, utilizing a quinone compound and molecular oxygen as oxidizing agent, in a basic, aqueous reaction medium, in the presence of a nonionic, polar organic material which forms a second liquid phase in the basic reaction medium and which is present in a minor amount relative to the amount of aqueous base in the reaction medium. The quinacridones prepared by this process are useful as pigments.
