• Mark:

  Scheme 3

• Associated context:

  Hydrogenation of anthracenes containing aliphatic or aromatic scaffold at the C-9 position resulted in the products 3b–h in preparatively useful yields (Scheme 3). In most cases, only trace amounts of the mono-terminal ring-reduced compounds were detected.
