 Zusammenfassung: We present new BeppoSAX observations of four flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) with spectral energy distributions similar to those of high-energy peaked BL Lacs. In one of our sources the BeppoSAX band is dominated by synchrotron emission peaking at ∼ 2 × 1016 Hz, as also shown by its steep (energy index αx ∼ 1.5) spectrum. This makes this object the first known FSRQ whose X-ray emission is not due to inverse Compton radiation. Two other sources display a flat X-ray spectrum (αx ∼ 0.7) but with indications of steepening at low energies. In these objects, the combination of BeppoSAX and ROSAT observations, (non-simultaneous) multifrequency data, and a synchrotron inverse Compton model suggest synchrotron peak frequencies ≈ 1015 Hz, although a better coverage of the spectral energy distributions is needed to provide firmer values. Our sources, although firmly in the radio--loud regime, have powers more typical of high--energy peaked BL Lacs than of FSRQ, and indeed their radio powers put them near the low--luminosity end of the FSRQ luminosity function. We discuss this in terms of an anti-correlation between synchrotron peak frequency and total power, based on physical arguments, and also as possibly due to a selection effect.
