9-Anthracenemethanol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

It is a colorless or light yellow solid that is soluble in ordinary organic solvents.

Uses

An anthracene derivative used in Diels-Alder reactions. Also used in the preparation of 9-anthracenylmethyl-1-piperazinecarboxylate.

Uses

9-Anthracenemethanol can be used:
As a starting material to prepare 9-anthracenylmethyl-1-piperazinecarboxylate, which acts as a reagent in the determination of isocyanates using HPLC.
In the Diels-Alder reaction with dimethylacetylene-dicarboxylate to yield lactone derivatives.
As an initiator in the ring-opening polymerization of δ-valerolactone to yield poly(δ-valerolactone).
As a starting material in the synthesis of polymer-supported anthracene, which acts as a dienophile scavenger in cycloaddition reactions.

Preparation

9-Anthracenemethanol is synthesized by hydrogenation of 9-anthracenecarboxaldehyde. It is a versatile precursor to supramolecular assemblies.

General Description

9-Anthracenemethanol participates in ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide catalyzed by alumoxane. It undergoes proton exchange reaction with potassium tert-butoxide to yield potassium 9-anthracenemethoxide.

Safety Profile

Mutation data reported. Whenheated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke andirritating vapors.
