9-Methoxymethylanthracene, 9-trimethylsilylmethylanthracene and 9-thiomethoxymethylanthracene are converted by butyllithium reagents to α-methoxy-9-anthrylmethyl, α-trimethylsilyl-9-anthrylmethyl and 9-anthrylmethyl carbanions, respectively, which react at their C-10 and C-11 positions with appropriate electrophyles.
