✦ Synopsis

The reactions of alkali metal salts of anthracene with alkyl halides result in the formation of 9,10-dialkyl 9,10-dihydroanthracenes as the principal product, although appreciable quantities of other adducts, notably the 1,2-and 1,4-dialkyl compounds, are also formed.

When the disodium salt is used, these adducts account for the total anthracene consumed, but with the dilithium salt appreciable quantities of 9,(4-hydroxybutyl) anthracene compounds are produced; they resulted from additive reaction of the salt with the tetrahydrofuran solvent. In the present experiments, these adducts account for about 20 per cent of the anthracene, but this proportion may be increased by prolonging the standing of the dilithium anthracene solution before reacting with alkyl halide.

When a tetrahydrofuran solution of styrene or ~-methylstyrene (M) and anthracene (A) is reacted with alkali metal, anionic species are produced which can be titrated with alkyl dibromides (RBr2) to produce copolymers. These copolymers have been analysed structurally by NMR spectroscopy and by a mode
