Description

General description

9-Anthracenemethanol participates in ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide catalyzed by alumoxane. It undergoes proton exchange reaction with potassium tert-butoxide to yield potassium 9-anthracenemethoxide.

9-Anthracenemethanol is a derivative of anthracene used in the Diels-Alder reactions.

Application

9-Anthracenemethanol can be used:

As a starting material to prepare 9-anthracenylmethyl-1-piperazinecarboxylate, which acts as a reagent in the determination of isocyanates using HPLC.
In the Diels-Alder reaction with dimethylacetylene-dicarboxylate to yield lactone derivatives.
As an initiator in the ring-opening polymerization of δ-valerolactone to yield poly(δ-valerolactone).
As a starting material in the synthesis of polymer-supported anthracene, which acts as a dienophile scavenger in cycloaddition reactions.
