Patented Nov. 21, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE PROCESS FOR PREPARING l-ARYLAMINO-Z- METHYL-AN THBAQUIN ONES No Drawing. Application February 19, 1930 Serial No. 429,830
27 Claims.
This invention relates to the synthesis of aryl derivatives of beta-methyl-anthraquinone and more particularly to the aryl-amine derivatives. Specifically the invention relates to the preparation of l-arylamino-2-methyl-anthraquinones.
The preparation of 1-arylamino-2-methylanthraquinones, according to prior art, has been generally the same as the preparation of l-anilino-anthraquinone. Usually it consists of a condensation of an arylamine with 1-chloro-2- methyl-anthraquinone in the presence of sodium carbonate or anhydrous sodium acetate and copper or some copper salt. The anhydrous condition is ordinarily maintained throughout the rei action. 7
This invention has as an object the improvement of the preparation of 1-arylamino-2- methyl-anthraquinones by condensing l-chloro- 2-methyl-anthraquinone with arylamines under jmore advantageous conditions than have been utilized heretofore. A further object is to produce purer products and higher yields of these compounds than has been possible in the processes of the'prior art. A still further object is to f preventexcessive side reactions in the aforesaid condensation. Other objects will appear hereinafter.
These objects are accomplished by the following "invention wherein 1 chloro 2 methyl- ;3(); anthraquinone is condensed with an arylamine in the 'presence of an alcohol or compound containing a'hydroxyl group.
' This invention will be readily understood by consideration of the following specific examples.
Example I To 600 parts of aniline are added 200 parts of 1-chloro-2-methyl-anthraquinone, 75 parts of anhydrous sodium acetate, 25 parts of copper sul j40 phate and parts of ethyl alcohol. The mixtureis then refluxed at a constant boiling temperature (95-105" C.) for a period of 15 to 20 hours, or until the I-chloro-2-methyl-anthraquinone completely disappears. When the reaction 45, is completed the product is allowed to cool to 20-30 C.; it is then filtered and washed with small amounts of aniline and alcoholand then with hot water until free of copper salts and sodium acetate. The residual l-anilino-Z-methylanthraquinone consists of chocolate-brown, long needle-like crystals, characteristic of a pure product.
7 Example II To 600 parts of para-toluidine are added 200 parts of 1-chloro-2-methyl-anthraquinone, parts of anhydrous sodium acetate, 25 parts of copper sulphate and 50 parts of ethyl alcohol. The mixture is then refluxed at a constant boiling temperature (95-105" C.) for a period of 15 to 6Q Example III To 600 parts of ortho-anisidine are added 200 7 parts of 1-ch1oro-2-methy1-anthraquinone, '75 parts of anhydrous sodium acetate, 25 parts of copper sulphate and 50 parts of ethyl alcohol. The mixture is then refluxed at a constant boiling temperature (95-105 C.) for a period of 15 to 75 20 hours, or until the 1-chloro-2-methyl-anthraquinone completely disappears. When the reaction is completed the product is allowed to cool to 20-30 C.; it is then filtered and washed with small amounts of solvent naphtha and alcohol and then with hot water until free of copper salts and sodium acetate.
Example IV To 600 parts of para-phenetidine are added 200 35 parts of 1-chloro-2-methyl-anthraquinone, '75 parts of anhydrous sodium acetate, 25 parts of copper sulphate and 50 parts of ethyl alcohol. The mixture is then refluxed at a constant boiling temperature (-105 C.) for a period of 15 to 9Q 20 hours, or until 1-chloro-2-methyl-anthraquinone completely disappears. When the reaction is completed the product is allowed to cool to 20-30 C.; it is then filtered and washed with small amounts of solvent naphtha and alcohol 95 and then with hot water until free of copper salts and sodium acetate.
The disappearance of 1-chloro-2-methylanthraquinone is readily determined by means of a spot test on a glass slide when examined under a microscope. The starting compound occurs as white crystals, whereas the product of the reaction gives crystals which are colored.
Various modifications may be made and equivalent materials used without detriment to the process. As shown by the examples; in the place of aniline, thevarious toluidines, anisidines, phenetidines, etc. may be substituted. The invention is not limited to the use of ethyl alcohol since unsaturated alcohols, poly-hydroxy alcohols, and even mixtures of alcohols may be used. It is also possible to use alcohol mixed with water or to use Water alone. Specific examples of other aliphatic alcohols are methyl, butyl and amyl. The boiling point of the alcohol used is an important factor and too high a boiling point should be avoided. The process is preferably limited to Water soluble alcohols to aid in the washing of the product resulting from this invention. The use of a single alcohol is preferred. Especially good results have been obtained with ethyl alcohol alone. The process is not limited to chloro-methyl anthraquinone since other halogen derivatives may be used. Similarly the process is not limited to 1-halogen2-methyl-anthra quinones since other alkyl groups may be substituted for the methyl. In addition other copper salts or copper itself may be used to facilitate the reaction and any material capable of reacting With the liberated halogen acid may be substituted for the sodium acetate, governed, of course, by non reactiveness to the other constituent parts of the r action mixture.
When aniline or its homologues are condensed with l-chlcro-Z-methyl-anthraquinone, due to the position of the methyl group in respect to the chlorine group, the reaction has strong tendency to proceed in such a manner to involve the methyl roup to form ethene and other complexes. The alcohol present varying quantities acts as a bufier to prevent such side reactions and at the time aids in securing smoother operation. The above state- "ment of theory of operation is given merely to aid in the understanding of the invention and applicant does not desire to be limited thereby.
This invention insures a -60% overall yield of l-aniline-2-methyl-anthraquinone as compared with 40-45% yield of previously known and tried methods. The reaction is easily controlled because the aniline and alcohol form a constant boiling mixture. Furthermore, it eliminates side reactions to a much larger extent than has been possible heretofore, and in addition insures a uniform, pure product.
As many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention maybe made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the specific embodiments thereof except as defined in the appended claims.
