1,4-Dichloro-5-hydroxy-9,10-anthracenedione (I) is alkylated with powdered potassium carbonate and benzyl bromide to give the ether (II). The ether is condensed with threee equivalents of 2-[(2-hydrazinoethyl)amino]ethanol in anhydrous dimethylsulfoxide to give regioisomers (III) and (IV), which are separated by flash silica gel chromatography. The isomer (III) is reacted with an excess of 2-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethanol in refluxing pyridine to give the intermediate (V). The intermediate is converted to the 10-hydroxy isomer by hydrogenolysis of the benzyl protecting group with Pearlman's catalyst in glacial acetic acid, followed by dihydrochloride salt formation.
