Procedure
2-(9-Anthryloxy)ethyl chloride (7.0 g) and potassium phthalimide (2.8 g) were heated to 130° C. in dimethylformamide (70 ml) for 7 hours. The cooled solution was added to water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried and evaporated to yield N-[2-(9-anthryloxy)ethyl]phthalimide.
