Abstract
Oxidation of 9-alkylanthracene by pyridine-iodine proceeded mainly thr ough nucleophilic attack of the solvent molecule on the intermediate r adical cation, In the case of 9,10-dialkylanthracene, deprotonation le ading to side-chain oxidation was sole procedure, and deprotonation of methyl was much more rapid than that of ethyl and cycle cyclopylanthr acene.
