Non-reductive conversion of 1-nitro-9,10-anthraquinone to 1-amino-9,10-anthraquinones

Heating 1-nitro-9,10-anthraquinone 2 with ureas 4 in N,N,N',N'-tetramethylurea (TMU) at around 130 °C resulted in the displacement of the nitro group by the amino groups, leading to the corresponding aminoanthraquinones 5 in good yields.

PHOTOCHEMICAL DECOMPOSITION OF 2-AZIDOPHENAZINE IN ALCOHOLS AND IN THE PRESENCE OF CYANIDE ION

The photochemical decomposition of 2-azidophenazine in alcoholic solvents has been investigated. 1-Amino-2-alkoxyphenazines are formed in neutral and (in higher yield and together with 2-amino-1-chlorophenazine) in acidic conditions, while the azepinoquinoxaline 7 is formed in basic conditions.With cyanide ion nucleophilic attack takes place giving 1-amino-2-phenazine carbonitrile.To allow comparison, 2-azidonaphthalene, 2-azidoanthracene and 2-azidoanthraquinone have also been photodecomposed in the conditions in which the most interesting results are obtained from 2-azidophenazine.The mechanism of these reactions is briefly discussed.
