Abstract
The invention relates to a novel process for producing 2-methoxybenzanthrones, starting with 1-aminoanthraquinones, which process is characterized in that, by application of a special reaction medium, namely a dimethylalkanephosphonate, which at the same time acts as a methylation agent in one of the reaction steps, the reaction is performed from beginning to end according to the principle of the single-vessel reaction, that is to say, without isolation of intermediates. The 2-methoxybenzanthrones obtained by this process are important intermediate products for vat dyes.
