Karidurganavar %J Molbank %D 2013 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/M796 %X Diels Alder reaction of 4-bromophenylquinone (Br-PQ) with anthracene, followed by reduction affords the desired 4'-bromophenyl triptycene-2,5-diol (T-Br-PH). The described synthesis represents a simple and efficient method for the construction of a triptycene ring with a bromophenyl pendant. The intermediate and the final compound (T-Br-PH) have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, and LCMS techniques. %K Diels-Alder reaction %K benzoquinone %K triptycene %U http://www.mdpi.com/1422-8599/2013/1/M796
