2,3-Di-n-undecylanthracene and 2,3-Di-n-decyloxyanthracene (DDOA) - on the Connecting Link between the Aromatic Substrate and the Aliphatic Chain in Self-Assembling Systems
alkanes, toluene, acetonitrile and other solvents. Whereas the photoreactivity of 1 did not follow the usual behaviour of anthracene derivatives, compound 11, irradiated in cyclohexane, produced the two expected [4+4]cycloadducts 12 and 13 (anti and synphotodimers, respectively). These facts point to the role of the connecting link between the rigid core and the flexible chain for some self-assembled
