Abstract
The synthesis of 9,10-dimethoxy-2-methyl-1,4-anthraquinone, an unusual quinone, was achieved in five steps from p-benzoquinone. A Kochi–Anderson radical methylation features as the key step in the synthesis. The chemistry of a cyclopropa-1,4-anthracenedione is also described. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
