Abstract
anti-1,4,5,8-Tetrapropyl-1,4:5,8-diepoxyanthracene has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. This compound crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/c with cell parameters a = 10.166(1)Å, b = 10.9186(8)Å, c = 10.640(1)Å, β = 112.464(4)°, and Z = 2. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares to a final R value of 0.054 for 2385 reflections (I > 2.00 σ(I)).
