The synthesis of substituted anthracenes from naphthalene precursors is described. The key step involved heating ortho-allyl substituted naphthalene-2-carbaldehydes and potassiumt-butoxide in DMF with concomitant irradiation from a high pressure mercury lamp to afford anthracenes in yields of 76–98%.
