  • Patent number: 5191133
    Abstract: The selective formation of 2-acetonaphthalene is achieved by acetylating naphthalene in the presence of liquid hydrogen fluoride. The 2-acetonaphthalene can be separated from the formed 1-acetonaphthalene isomer by successive hydrogenation of the isomer mixture and dehydration. The hydrogenation is selective to the 2-isomer while the 1-acetonaphthalene remains unreacted. Upon completion, 2-vinylnaphthalene can be distilled off from the unreacted 1-acetonaphthalene.

  • Patent number: 5132437
    Abstract: 1-Aminoanthraquinone (1-AAQ) is synthesized by the reaction of 2-chlorobenzyl chloride and xylene in the presence of a solid acid catalyst to yield 2-chloro dimethyldiphenylmethane, subsequent oxidation of the methyl groups, ring closure to form a 1-chloroanthraquinone carboxylic acid, replacement of the 1-chloro group with ammonia, and decarboxylation.

  • Patent number: 5130448
    Abstract: 1-Aminoanthraquinone (1-AAQ) is synthesized by the condensation of 2-substituted benzoic acid and xylene to yield 2-substituted-dimethylbenzophenone, subsequent oxidation of the methyl groups, ring closure to form a 1-substituted anthraquinone carboxylic acid, replacement of the 1-substituent with ammonia, and decarboxylation.
