Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A process for the manufacture of anthraquinones of the formula ##STR4## where the individual R's may be identical or different and each R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen and alkyl, by cyclizing an o-benzoylbenzoic acid of the formula ##STR5## where R has the above meanings, at elevated temperatures, in which the cyclization is carried out in the presence of a cyclizing agent of an oxygen-containing compound of aluminum and of silicon at a temperature of from 150° to 350° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
A process for the manufacture of anthraquinones of the formula ##STR4## where the individual R's may be identical or different and each R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen and alkyl, by cyclizing an o-benzoylbenzoic acid of the formula ##STR5## where R has the above meanings, at elevated temperatures, in which the cyclization is carried out in the presence of a cyclizing agent of an oxygen-containing compound of aluminum and of silicon at a temperature of from 150° to 350° C.
