Preparation of 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone-2,3-disulfonic acid and 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone-2,3-dinitrile

摘要

1,4-Diaminoanthraquinone-2,3-disulfonic acid (I) is prepared by reacting 1,4-diamino-2,3-dihaloanthraquinone (II) with boric acid in an inert organic solvent and further reacting the resulting reaction product (IIa) with an aqueous sulfite solution, by a method in which the inert organic solvent used is a nonpolar solvent having a boiling point of >/=130 DEG C. and a density of
