“…The syntheses of compounds 5, 7-10, 15-20, 22-25, 27-29, 31-43, 46, and 49 have previously been described. 32,34,35 21,26,30,47,50, and 53-55, whose syntheses had previously been described by classical methods, 35,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] as well as the new compounds 11,44,45,48,51,52, and 56-60 were obtained in analogy to a new method recently developed by our group applying a simple and efficient microwave-assisted Ullmann reaction (Scheme 1). 49 Our experiments showed that a wide variety of amines (aliphatic and aromatic) including highly electron-deficient ones could be smoothly coupled with anthraquinone halide derivatives 6.…”
