The reaction of 1-chloro-, 2-chloro-, 1,5-dichloro-, 1,8-dichloro-, 1-hydro
xy-4-chloro-, 1-hydroxy-2,4-dichloro- and 1,4-dihydroxy-5-chloro-9, 10-anth
raquinones with 2-ethoxyethanol activated by fluoride anion in the presence
of alumina affords reasonable to high yields of the corresponding mono- an
d dialkoxy derivatives.
