Dichroic dyestuffs. A synthesis of dialkyl-8-amino-1,4,5-trihydroxy- and 1,4,5,8-tetrahydroxy-anthraquinones
Abstract
A general synthesis of 2,6- and 3,6-dialkyl-8-amino-1,4,5-trihydroxy- and the related tetrahydroxyquinones was developed from 2- and 3-alkyl-1,4,5-trihydroxyanthraquinones via nitration, reduction, aldol condensation, and hydrolysis. The utility of these as dichroic dyestuffs was estimated by measurement of the order parameter, S.
