Synthesis of anthraquinone by oxidation with H_2O_2 under microwave irradiation

Kou Jia-hui

Abstract

The oxidation of anthracene with H_2O_2 under microwave irradiation was investigated.The effects of reaction time,H_2O_2 feed,catalyst and solvent were examined.The results showed that anthraquinone yield was significantly affected by the concentration of acetic acid and that using proper amount of (CH_3COO)_3Fe as catalyst could increase the anthraquinone yield and shorten the reaction time.
