Usage

General Description

9-(Iodomethyl)anthracene is a chemical compound that consists of an anthracene molecule with a methyl group and an iodine atom attached to one of the carbon atoms. It is used as a fluorescent labeling reagent in organic synthesis and as a precursor in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and other organic compounds. The presence of the iodine atom in the molecule makes it useful in various chemical reactions, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. It is considered a hazardous substance and requires proper handling and storage due to its potential toxicity and reactivity.

Silicaphosphine (Silphos): A filterable reagent for the conversion of alcohols and thiols to alkyl bromides and iodides

Silicaphosphine (Silphos), [P(Cl)3-n(SiO2) n], as a new heterogeneous reagent is introduced. This reagent converts alcohols and thiols to their corresponding bromides and iodides in the presence of X2 (X=Br, I) in refluxing CH3CN in high to quantitative yields. Use of Silphos provides a highly practical method for the easy separation of the Silphos oxide byproduct by a simple filtration.

An easy synthesis of lepidopterene from 9-chloromethyl anthracene. Evidence for a free radical mechanism

This communication reports a novel and efficient synthesis of lepidopterene from 9-(chloromethyl)anthracene. Furthermore, the radical nature of the process is unambiguously established through the obtention of several 9-anthracenemethyl derivatives, which are formed via a common 9-anthracenemethyl radical intermediate, derived from 9-(iodomethyl)anthracene.
