Chemical Properties of anthracene

Anthracene, a chemical compound, participates in addition and electrophilic substitution reactions, with a preference for occurring at the C-9 and C-10 positions. This preference can be rationalized by examining the intermediate carbonium ions generated from attacks at C-1, C-2, and C-9 (where other positions are symmetrical equivalents of 1, 2, or 9). In the equations … Read more

ELECTROPHILIC AROMATIC SUBSTITUTION

Introduction: Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are a category of organic reactions in which an electrophile displaces an atom bonded to an aromatic ring. Typically, these reactions entail the substitution of a hydrogen atom within a benzene ring with an electrophile. In electrophilic aromatic substitution, the aromaticity of the ring remains intact. For instance, the formation … Read more
