Reaction Steps

4 g (1 eq, 14.9 mmol) of 9-p-tolyl-anthracene, 5.3 g (2 eq, 29.8 mmol) of NBS were dissolved in 200 ml of THF in a 500-ml round-bottomed flask and stirred for 1 hour. 200 ml of water was added to the solution to obtain yellow crystals. The yellow crystals were filtered, dissolved in a small amount of toluene, and separated using column chromatography (silica and hexane) to obtain 4.6 g (89%) of yellow crystals.
