Abstract
Using emodin as an example, it has been shown that in the bromination of hydroxyanthraquinones the qualitative composition and quantitative ratio of the reaction products depend on the nature of the brominating agent and the solvent, the ratio of the rea Lants, and the temperature regime. In order to obtain bromo-3-methyl-1,6,8-trihydroxyanthraquinone it is recommended to use dioxane dibromide in acid solution as the brominating agent, and to obtain 5-bromo-3-methyl-1,6,8-trihydroxyanthraquinone the same reagent in dioxane solution. The optimum conditions for obtaining 3-bromomethyl-1,6,8-trihydroxyanthraquinone by the methods of initiated bromination and photobromination have been selected.
