General description

1,5-Dinitroanthraquinone is formed as one of the products during the nitration of anthraquinone.

Application

1,5-Dinitroanthraquinone has been used in a study to understand the effect of its oxygenous substituents on the color ratio, when it is a part of spectral flare compositions. It may be used to prepare 3,4,7,8-tetrabromo-1,5-dinitroanthraquinone via bromination using molecular bromine and nitric acid as a co-reagent.
