Abstract
Two hexa-substituted anthracenes have been synthesised; the molecular structure of a [4+4] head-to-tail anthracene dimer has also been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Both the 1,2-, and 1,4-dihydroanthracenes were obtained in this case in 8:5 ratio. 1H NMR data for 6,7-dibromo-2,3-dimethyl-1,2-dihydroanthracene in CDCl3 (300 MHz): δ 8.00 (s, 1 H, ArH), 7.97 (s, 1 H, ArH), 7.39 (s, 1 H, ArH), 7.22 (s, 1 H, ArH), 6.31 (s, 1 H, ArH), 3.11 (dd, J = 7.2, 18.6 Hz, 1 H, CH2), 2.71 (dd, J = 5.2, 18.6 Hz, 1 H, CH2), 2.36–2.49 (m, 1 H, CH), 1.96 (s, 3 H, Me), 1.00 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 3 H, Me); for 6,7-dibromo-2,3-dimethyl-1,4-dihydroanthracene in CDCl3 (300 MHz): δ 8.03 (s, 2 H, ArH), 7.47 (s, 2 H, ArH), 3.44 (s, 4 H, CH2), 1.82 (s, 6 H, Me).
