Abstract: 9-Anthranylcarbaldehydes were converted to alkyl 9-anthranylacrylates and 9-phenacylethenylanthracenes. Alkyl 9-anthranylacrylates are brominated to alkyl 9-bromoanthran-10-ylacrylate. Suzuki-reactions with arylboronic lead to alkyl 9,10-arylanthranylacrylates. The alkyl 9-anthranylacrylates and 9-phenacylethenylanthracenes were subjected to cycloaddition reactions to give the respective cycloadducts.
