In 2022,Tajimi, Yuka; Nachi, Yasuhiro; Inada, Ryoko; Hashimoto, Ryoga; Yamawaki, Mugen; Ohkubo, Kei; Morita, Toshio; Yoshimi, Yasuharu published an article in Journal of Organic Chemistry. The title of the article was 《9-Cyano-10-methoxycarbonylanthracene as a Visible Organic Photoredox Catalyst in the Two-Molecule Photoredox System》.Name: 9,10-Dibromoanthracene The author mentioned the following in the article:
Visible-light-induced decarboxylative and deboronative reactions using two-mol. organic photoredox catalysts, namely, phenanthrene (Phen) and biphenyl (BP), as electron donors and 9-cyano-10-methoxycarbonylanthracene 1a as an electron acceptor were achieved. The high solubility of 1a significantly improved the reaction efficiency and product yield. In addition, the facile tuning of the oxidation potential of the electron-donor mol. via the replacement of Phen with BP enabled the application of the two-mol. photoredox system to a wide range of substrates. The experimental process involved the reaction of 9,10-Dibromoanthracene(cas: 523-27-3Name: 9,10-Dibromoanthracene)
9,10-Dibromoanthracene(cas: 523-27-3) is synthesized by the bromination of anthracene. The bromination reaction is carried out at room temperature using carbon tetrachloride as a solvent. Using 80-85% anthracene as raw material, adding bromine to react for half an hour, the yield is 83-88%.Name: 9,10-Dibromoanthracene
