Abstract

Herein, we present a method to access a series of 1,5-functionalized anthracenes through Kumada coupling. All syntheses start from readily available 1,5-dichloroanthracene. The so-formed anthracenes are further derivatized to enable, for example, attachment to supramolecular systems.

Key words

Grignard reaction - Kumada coupling - cross coupling - anthracene - nickel
