9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-diol

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of 5 mmol of 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-diol, 0.5 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide, and 5 ml of ethyl acetate was stirred at 75° C. in an oxygen atmosphere (1 atm) for 18 hours. An iodometric analysis of a reaction mixture revealed that hydrogen peroxide was formed in yield of 36%. Separately, as a result of a gas chromatographic analysis of the reaction mixture, the conversion rate from 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-diol was 27%, and anthraquinone was formed in yield of 24%. was formed in yield of 36% Separately, as a result of a gas chromatographic analysis of the reaction mixture
