1054 DHAR: A COMPARATIVE STUDY have incidentally raisd the same quehon (“The, Natural Organic Colouring Matters,” pp. 126-127). They compare1 alizarin with 3: 4-dihydrosyxanthone, but, rn a matter of fact, 1: 2-dihydroxyxanthonel, and not the) 3: 4-derivative, colrreaponds with alizarin. Attempt6 are being made tot synthesise 1: 2-dihydroxyxanthone, and the reaults will be uommunicated in duel course. At the same time, a systelmatia comparison is being attemptetd in the, following directions:(1) nitration;(2) direct displacetment? of nitro-groups by halogens, methaxy-group, etc., and certain other important! relaotions with nitro-compounds, such as Skraup’s synthesis, Doebnes and Miller’s and Knorr’s syntheses, etc.;(3) halogenation;(4) mobility of halogen atoms;(5) migration of diazogroups.It is interestling to notel that xanthonel has been found to he much more reactive than antthraquinone~. Thus with nitric acid alone!, xanthone giveis two dinitroxanthones (a and P), whereas anthraquinone gives a motnonitro-derivative only (Bey., 1883, 16, 363). Again, quite a number of tri-and tstra-nitroxanthones have very easily been prelpared, whilst no such polynitro-derivativea of anthraquinonel are known, and further nitration of the dinitro-compounds has not yet been effecteld. Xanthone seems notl only to be more reactivel, but, also more stable, altjhough from the structure of theisel compounds such a fact is quite unelxpected. It is well known that wheln fuseid with potassium hydroxide, xanthone decomposes into 1: 1’-dihydroxyb eln z op h e n o ne, wh elreas an th ra qu in on e is co m pl etd yd egr ad ed to two molecules of benzoic acid. Similarly, itl has beeln found that when furthelr nitration of 1: 5-or 1: 8-dinitroanthraquinone is attempted with mixtures of nitria and sulpliuric acids, they decom-pose completely, whilst both a-and P-dinit4rolxanthones are convelrted into tekranitroxanthones at an earlielr stage of such a treatr ment, and the products are not, decomposed on subsequent trelatment. It may also be nolted that tetrabromoxanthonel is nitrated and not decomposed by such a mixture (Dhar, T., 1916, 109, 740).
