Starting from benzaldehyde derivatives, the corresponding dibenzocycloheptenol could be prepared in five steps. Under both substrate (secondary vs tertiary alcohol and the substituents on the aromatic ring(s)) and condition control, the subsequent epoxidation and acid-catalyzed epoxide opening/semipinacol rearrangement/aromatization afforded the corresponding 9-anthraldehydes in good yields, up to 88% over two steps. The presence of the electron-withdrawing group(s) on the aromatic ring(s) suppressed the rate of the epoxidation while the subsequent semipinacol rearrangement step required heating; the presence of the electron-donating group(s), on the other hand, frequently led to the decomposition during the epoxidation. From the mechanistic studies, the semipinacol rearrangement of the epoxide could precede the ionization at the bisbenzylic position, yielding the aldehyde intermediate. The ensuing dehydrative aromatization led to the formation of 9-anthraldehyde. Conversely, nucleophilic addition to the aldehyde and dehydrative aromatization with concomitant loss of formic acid led to anthracene.

The Diels-Alder reaction between substituted anthracenes 1a-1j and 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5 (2) is studied. In all cases except one, the reaction proceeds on the most active 9,10-atoms of substituted anthracenes. The orthogonality of the two phenyl groups at the 9,10-position of diene 1a is found to shield 9,10-reactive centers. No dienophiles with C=C bonds are shown to participate in the Diels-Alder reaction with 1a; however, the reaction 1a + 2 proceeds with the very active dienophile 2,4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione. It is shown that attachment occurs on the less active but sterically accessible 1,4-reactive center of diene 1a. The structure of adduct 3a is proved by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The following parameters are obtained for reaction 1a + 2 ? 3a in toluene at 25°C: Keq = 2120 M-1, ΔHf≠ = 58.6 kJ/mol, ΔSf≠ = -97 J/(mol K), ΔVf≠ = -17.2 cm3/mol, ΔHb ≠ = 108.8 kJ/mol, ΔSb≠ = 7.3 J/(mol K), ΔVb≠ = -0.8 cm3/mol, ΔHr-n = -50.2 kJ/mol, ΔSr-n = -104.3 J/(mol K), ΔVr-n = -15.6 cm3/mol. It is concluded that the values of equilibrium constants of the reactions 1a-1j + 2 ? 3a-3j vary within 4 × 101-1011 M-1.

A series of readily accessible, dynamic Diels-Alder reactions that are reversible at room temperature have been developed between anthracene derivatives as dienes and N-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione as the dienophile. The adducts formed undergo reversible component exchange to form dynamic libraries of equilibrating cycloadducts. Furthermore, reversible adduct formation allows temperature-dependent modulation of the fluorescent properties of anthracene components; a feature of potential interest for the design of optodynamic polymeric materials by careful selection and manipulation of these simple dienes and dienophiles.
