An improved synthesis of 1,8-diphenylanthracene (1) is described along with various reactions of this hydrocarbon, including electrophilic substitution reactions, oxidations, and addition of n-BuLi.The molecular geometry of a derivative, 10-bromo-1,8-diphenylanthracene (20), was determined by X-ray crystallography.Of the various routes explored for forming 9-substituted 1,8-diphenylanthracenes, only the addition of certain organometallic reagents to the 9-anthrone 10 was satisfactory.
