Comments
Synthesis: This reaction was also carried out using conventional heating, and then required 135-165°C for 2 to 3 days. Even then, it didn't give very high yields, and more of the regioisomer where the bridge substituent is ortho to the anthracene substituent. In this case, the ratio between these was >99:1. Independent of heating method, higher temperatures were found to suppress formation of the ortho product, probably due to the higher thermodynamic stability of the meta compound.

Analysis: HPLC was used to determine the regioisomer ratio and the conversion of anthracene to product, in this case 50%.

Purification: The product was isolated by column chromatography.
