An efficient synthesis of the 1-hydroxy-2-(prop-2'-enyl)9-anthrone is described. Selective nitration of anthraquinone, reduction to the corresponding amine, diazotization and treatment by sulfuric acid solution afforded the 1-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone in good yield as the key intermediate. Reaction with allyl bromide/K2CO3 and subsequent selective reduction accompanie...

Anthralin and some of its derivatives have implied antipsoriatic effect in clinical and pharmaceutical studies. Anthralin is synthesized by different strategies. In this work we report the synthesis of "OEHA" as a precursor of another biological active compound.
