Abstract

ABSTRACT(E)-3-(9-Anthryl)acrylates and (E)-9-aroylethenylanthracenes have been prepared by solventless Wittig olefination with conjugated phosphoranes. The (E)-3-(9-anthryl)acrylates were brominated to give (E)-3[10-{9-bromoanthryl}]acrylates, which could be subjected to Suzuki reactions with arylboronic acids to produce (E)-3-[10-{9-arylanthryl}]acrylates as pi-extended systems. The compounds thus prepared were subjected to Diels–Alder reactions, partly under solventless conditions.
