4,11-Dihydroxyanthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-dione (thiophenoquinizarine) and its 3-methyl derivative were obtained by the cyclization of quinizarin-2-yl derivatives of mercaptoacetaldehyde or mercaptoacetone in acid medium. 4,11-Dimethoxy- and 4,11-dibutoxyanthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-dione were synthesized by the alkylation of the hydroxyl group in the synthesized anthrathiophenes with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal or butyl iodide respectively. Radical bromination of 4,11-dimethoxy-3-methylanthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-dione, depending on the amount of N-bromo-succinimide taken, leads to the formation of 3-bromomethyl- or 3-dibromomethyl-4,11-dimethoxy-anthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-diones. The action of sodium acetate on the obtained bromo derivatives with subsequent hydrolysis of the intermediate acetates led to the synthesis of 3-hydroxymethyl- or 3-formyl-4,11-dimethoxy-anthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-diones.
