PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ANTHRACENE DIETHER

摘要

An industrially advantageous process by which a high-purity anthracene diether can be produced in a high yield. An aqueous medium containing an alkali salt of 9,10-anthracenediol is added to an organic solvent containing an etherifying agent in the presence or absence of a quaternary ammonium compound or quaternary phosphonium compound to etherify the diol compound. Thus, an anthracene diether is produced.
