An improvement in the process for the manufacture of 1-amino-2-alkoxy-4-hydroxyanthraquinones by reaction of primary, saturated, linear or branched aliphatic alcohols, which may contain further substituents, with 1-amino-2-phenoxy-4-hydroxyanthraquinone or 1-amino-2-methoxy-4-hydroxyanthraquinone in the presence of alkaline reagents, which consists in carrying out the reaction in the presence of polyethylene glycols of molecular weight above 150. The presence of the polyethylene glycol facilitates the reaction and as a result high yields of reaction product are obtained even with alcohols which react incompletely, if at all, in prior processes.
