“…Derivatives of this type were obtained in the reactions of radicals ROO • with some aromatic amines [7] and sterically hindered phenols [2,[8][9][10]. The reaction of hydroperoxide I with 9,10-dimethylanthracene in the presence of alkoxyderivatives of transition metals (acetylacetonates of cobalt, chromium, vanadium, tetra-tert-butoxychromium) is described [6,11]. As the main products, 9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-di-tert-butylperoxyanthracene, 10-methyl-10-tert-butylperoxy-9-anthrone and 9,10-dimethyl-9,10-epidioxyanthracene were isolated.…”
