Anthracene-9-carbaldehyde
Anthracene-9-carbaldehyde is the most common monoaldehyde derivative of anthracene. It is a yellow solid that is soluble in common organic solvents. It is prepared by Vilsmeier formylation of anthracene.[1][2] The compound is also used as a building block for supramolecular assemblies.[3]Hydrogenation of 9-anthracenecarboxaldehyde gives 9-anthracenemethanol.
