Condensation of benzaldehyde with veratrole in acidic media affords a one-pot synthesis of 2,3,6,7-tetramethoxy-9,10-diphenylanthracene 1f.The reaction of 1f with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate does not yield the expected adduct but leads directly to the tetramethyl 9,10-diphenylanthracene-2,3,6,7-tetracarboxylate 9b and other products, through successive cyclo-additions followed by spontaneous eliminations of dimethoxyacetylene or methoxycarbyne.
