Reaction Steps

2,9-dibromo-13,13-dimethyl-6H-indeno[1,2-b]anthracene-6,11(13H)-dione (19 g, 0.058 mol) was dissolved in acetic acid (200 ml), and added with 57% HI (50 ml), followed by reflux-stirring for 48 hours. After the reaction was completed, the resultant solution was added with distilled water (500 ml). The produced solid was filtered and dissolved in toluene (200 ml) and iodine (4.56 g, 0.018 mol) was added thereto, followed by reflux-stirring for 3 hours. After the reaction was completed, through extraction and column chromatography, 13,13-dimethyl-13H-indeno[1,2-b]anthracene (10 g, yield 54%) was obtained.
