Deprotonation of 9,10‐dihydroanthracene ( 2 ) affords the monoanion 6 which is subjected to alkylation reactions with mono and bifunctional electrophiles. Crucial intermediates in syntheses using 6 are 9‐(3‐bromopropyl)‐9,10‐dihydroanthracene ( 7 ) and 1,3‐bis(9,10‐dihydro‐9‐anthryl)propane ( 9 ) since they provide access to linear oligomers in which 9,10‐dihydroanthracene units are linked by trimethylene groups. The alkylation processes of these species can be extended to the structurally related polymer 4 . The regio‐ and stereoselectivity of the alkylation reactions are investigated by 1 H‐ and 13 C‐NMR spectroscopy.
