Endoperoxidation of 9,10-bis(1-hydroxyalkyl)-anthracenes and successive formation of 9,10-anthraquinone under grignard reaction conditions

摘要

The reaction of anthracene-9,10-carboaldehyde with varius grignard reagents under ambietn conditions gave 9,10-bis(1-hydroxyalkyl)anthracene-9,10-peroxides and 9,10-anthraquinone as the first example.The endoperoxidation of 9,10-bis(1-hydroxyalkyl)anathracenes was assisted by the lone paired electron of oxygen in the side chain,and the endoperoxides were transformed to anthraquinone by the grignard reagents.
