A NOVEL QUINONE DIMETHIDE FORMED BY AERIAL OXIDATION OF 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8- OCTAHYDRO-9,lO-DIHYDROXY1,-5 ANTHRACENEDIONE %R %X During the development of a new regiospecific synthetic methodology for 1,5 dihydroxy- 9,lO-anthraquinone, it was observed that (anthrufin) preparative TLC of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-9,lO-dihyd roxy- 1,5-anthracenedione on silica gel produced a well-defined 1:l complex of the dione and an aerial oxidation product of it, the quinone dimethide 1,2,3,4,5,6,7- hexahydro-9,lO-dihydroxy-1 ,5-anthracenedione; both the complex and the quinone dimethide were characterised spectroscopically %U https://jsciences.ut.ac.ir/article_31348_0ff2739276d0bf4b3bb2896f549f941b.pdf
