Synthesis and polymerization of (9-anthryl)methyl crotonate

A new anthracene-based monomer, 9-anthrylmethyl crotonate, was synthesized and characterized. Its radical polymerization does not take place both due to the inhibiting role of the anthracene group and the high sterical hindrances at the vinyl bond. Oligomers with a poly(anthrylene methylene) structure were obtained by polymerization in the presence of Lewis acids. The proposed mechanism includes the formation of 9-anthrylmethylene carbenium ions and electrophilic attack on the aromatic positions of the anthracene monomer with crotonic acid elimination.

PMR Spectral Studies of Diels-Alder Adducts: Anthracene-Crotonic Acid, Anthracene-Fumaric Acid and β-Naphthol-Fumaric Acid

A series of amides (III-XI and XVII) and esters (XII-XV) of the Diels-Alder adducts, anthracene-crotonic acid (I), anthracene-fumaric acid (II) and β-naphthol-fumaric acid (XVI) have been prepared and their PMR spectra recorded.The PMR data indicate that N,N-dimethylamide and N-methylanilide derivatives of the adducts have restricted rotation about the N-CO and C-CO bonds.A trans-stereochemistry have been assigned to H-11 and H-12 in compounds I-XV and to H-2 and H-3 in compound XVI.
