Fig. 5: Comparison of electrophilic substitutions of anthracenes.

From: Diels–Alder reactions and electrophilic substitutions with atypical regioselectivity enable functionalization of terminal rings of anthracene

Fig. 5

Electron-donating substitution effect on the reactivities of anthracenes was also evident when electrophilic substitution reactions were compared between unsubstituted anthracene (1a) and pyrrolidine anthracene 1e with different electrophiles such as N-arylmaleimides, MTAD, and bromine.
