Abstract
Anthrone, xanthen, and thioxanthen were oxidised with cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) in methanol to yield anthraquinone, xanthone, and thioxanthone. In methanol, acridine gave acridine and small amounts of 3-nitro-and 3,7-dinitro-acridone; phenazine gave the mono-N-oxide. Oxidation of acridine or acridone in acetic acid at reflux temperature gave 1,3,7-trinitro- and 1,3,7,9-tetranitro-acridone.Keywords
