Abstract

A novel series of 1, 4-disubstituted chloroethylaminoanthraquinones, containing alkylating chloroethylamino functionalities as part of a rigid piperidinyl or pyrrolidinyl ring-system, have been prepared. The target compounds were prepared by ipso-displacement of halides of various anthraquinone chromophores by either hydroxylated or chlorinated piperidinyl-or pyrrolidinyl-alkylamino side chains. The chloroethylaminoanthraquinones were shown to ...
