title: Microwave-assisted regioselective cycloaddition reactions between 9-substituted anthracenes and levoglucosenone.
abstract: The cycloaddition reactions of 9-substituted anthracenes and levoglucosenone were investigated under microwave irradiation and conventional heating conditions. Considering time, yields, and regioselectivity, microwave technology has proven to be an ideal tool to achieve this chemical transformation. [reaction: see text].
