title: Oxidative aromatization of 9,10-dihydroanthracenes using molecular oxygen promoted by activated carbon.
abstract: Substituted 9,10-dihydroanthracenes were oxidatively aromatized to the corresponding anthracenes effectively by using molecular oxygen as an oxidant and activated carbon (Darco KB, Aldrich, Inc.) as a promoter in xylene.
