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.

Aluminium complexes bearing sterically bulky benzotriazole-phenoxide ligands are synthesized and characterized structurally. The reaction of 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenol ((CMe2Ph)BTP-H) or 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol ((t-Bu)BTP-H) with AlMe(3) (1.2 molar equiv.) in toluene yields [((CMe2Ph)BTP)AlMe(2)] (1) or [((t-Bu)BTP)AlMe(2)] (2) as a four-coordinated monomeric aluminium complex.

This paper proposes a one-step method for preparation of fluorescent 9-anthrylmethyl esters from triacylglycerols (TAG) ranging in amount from 0.1 to 5 microg. It involves base-catalyzed transesterification using potassium 9-anthracenemethoxide, prepared by proton exchange between 9-anthracenemethanol and potassium tert-butoxide. Transesterification

The role of electrophilic hydroxymethyl sulfate esters in the metabolic activation, DNA-damage, mutagenicity, and complete carcinogenicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been elucidated considerably in recent years. The observations are in agreement with a unified hypothesis which predicts that electrophilic
