Obtention of Anthraquinones by Selective Oxidation of the Corresponding Anthracenes and 9,10-Dimethoxyanthracenes with Copper or Zinc Nitrate supported on Silica Gel

Abstract
Anthracene, 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene and substituted analogues are selectively oxidized to the corresponding anthraquinones in good yields by copper(II) or zinc(II) nitrate supported on silica gel; the ether groups at different position from 9 and 10 are unaffected.
