Abstract: The invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of ether and thioether compounds of formula ##STR1## by reacting compounds of formula ##STR2## with compounds of formulaR.sub.1 --Ywherein R, R.sub.1, X, Y and n are as defined in claim 1, in the presence of an acid acceptor and in an aliphatic ketone, which process is carried out under pressure in the temperature range from 115.degree. to 200.degree. C.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a mixture of 1-amino-2-chloro-4-hydroxyanthraquinone and 1-amino-2-bromo-4-hydroxyanthraquinone, which mixture contains a high proportion of 1-amino-2-chloro-4-hydroxyanthraquinone, by chlorinating and brominating 1-aminoanthraquinone and reacting the intermediate so obtained with concentrated or fuming sulfuric acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of anthraquinone imides by condensing vattable anthraquinone compounds which contain at least one primary amino group with aromatic halogen compounds, in an organic solvent and at elevated temperature in the presence of a base and a copper catalyst. The process comprises first carrying out the condensation until a reaction of 60-95% has taken place, and then subjecting the reaction mixture, without isolating the reaction product, to an aftertreatment at a temperature which is 5.degree. to 60.degree. C. above the initial temperature of the condensation. This process permits the anthraquinone imides to be obtained in increased yield and additionally provides products with improved qualities. The intermediates so obtained can be further processed to vat dyes.
