Magnesium‐Promoted One‐Pot Double C‐Acylation and Cycloaddition of Anthracene and Double C‐Acylation of Benzyl Acrylates.

Abstract

A novel one-pot double C-acylation of anthracene or benzyl acrylates is achieved by electron transfer from Mg-metal to obtain 9,10-diacylated 9,10-dihydroanthracenes or keto esters of type (X) and (XI), respectively. -(MATSUNAMI, M.; SAKAI, N.; MORIMOTO, T.; MAEKAWA, H.; NISHIGUCHI*, I.; Synlett 2007, 5, 769-774; Dep.
