Reductive double alkylation of anthracene with lithium bromoacetate; synthesis of cyclopentaceanthrylene, a novel dicyclopenta-fused hydrocarbon

The synthesis and characterization of cyclopentaceanthrylene, a novel dicyclopenta-fused polycyclic hydrocarbon, are described.The key step is the reductive double alkylation of anthracene by lithium bromoacetate in liquid ammonia giving cis-9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-diacetic acid in good yield.Lithium bromoacetate is a better alkylating agent than the sodium iodoacetate formerly used.
