Abstract

Method A represents reaction of substituted anthracene with sodium (unless otherwise noted) in a" onia/THF (2: l); method B is deprotonation with n-butyllithium. In both cases, reaction mixtures were inverse quenched into methyl iodide/THF solution after 30 min at-78 OC. bAnalysis is by uncorrected gas chromatography. Proton abstraction from 9-Me-DHA with sodium amide in ammonia/THF (2: l).
