Abstract: Anti-cancer compounds and manufacturing methods thereof are disclosed. The anti-cancer compounds are 1,8-diamidoanthraquinone derivatives with amino compounds. The manufacturing method includes the steps of: add 1,8-bis(chloroacetamido)anthraquinone or 1,8-bis(3-chloropropionamido)-anthraquinone with amino compounds, catalysts, and dehydrated dimethylformamide (DMF) to form a mixture and react with one another. Then by purification and recrystallization, the anti-cancer compounds are obtained. The anti-cancer compounds of the present invention are compounds with whole new structure that overcome serious cardiac toxicity of the conventional anti-cancer drug-doxorubincin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the synthesis of 2-carboxyanthraquinone from 2-ethylanthraquinone by oxidation of the said ethyl group by means of a nitric acid solution. Anthra-quinones are used in the manufacture of oxygen-absorbing films which make possible the preparation of packagings suited to the preservation of oxygen-sensitive products, such as foodstuffs.

Abstract: Process for preparing amino- and carbamoyl-substituted anthraquinones by Diels-Alder reaction of an N-butadienylcarbamic acid ester of the formula H.sub.2 C.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.CH--NH--COOR.sup.2, wherein R.sup.2 is alkyl or phenylalkyl, with a 1,4-naphthoquinone or with 1,4-benzoquinone to form a carbamoyl-substituted hydroanthraquinone intermediate and by oxidation of this intermediate with an oxygen-containing gas in a tertiary amine and in the presence of a copper salt to obtain a carbamoyl-substituted anthraquinone product. The Diels-Alder reaction and the oxidation reaction can be carried out as a one-pot synthesis or in separate steps. The carbamic acid ester reactant provides a blocking group represented by --COOR.sup.2, and this blocking group is optionally removed by treatment of the carbamoyl-substituted anthraquinone with an alkaline hydroxide solution.
