Orthobromodiphenylmethane derivatives as starting materials for the total synthesis of anthraquinones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608003853

In this communication we describe the synthesis of four simple anthraquinones by a five-step sequence, using easily available bromobenzaldehydes and phenyllithium derivatives as starting materials.
