Reaction Steps

1.14 mmole of anthracene is reacted with 4.57 m atoms of cerium as powder in 7.5 ml of DME in the conditions of example 9 with application of ultrasound, thus producing anthracenecerium. After action of a methanol excess and the usual treatment, 9,10-dihydroanthracene was isolated with a yield of 59%.
