The synthesis of some representative 10-alkylthio- and 10-arylthio-1, 8-dihydroxy-9-anthrones, a new class of anthracene derivatives of potential pharmacological interest, is described, involving acid-catalyzed reaction of 1,8,10-trihydroxy-9-anthrone with a thiol at room temperature. The easy availability of all intermediates and the mild reaction conditions render the method simple and of general application. © 1986 Georg Thieme Verlag. All rights reserved.
