摘要

9-Alkyl and 9-arylanthracenes react with copper (II) bromide in methanol to give 10-alkyl (or aryl)-10-methoxyanthrones as the major product. 9-Methylanthracene additionally affords 10- methoxy-10-methoxymethylanthrone. The formation of all these products can be interpreted in terms of an initial electron-transfer oxidation of the aromatic moiety to the radical cation.
