title: Cycloaddition to an anthracene-derived macrocyclic receptor with supramolecular control of regioselectivity.
abstract: N-Ethylmaleimide and maleic anhydride add to the interior face of one anthracene wall with unusual 1,4-regioselectivity, whereas singlet oxygen adds to both anthracene walls with 9,10-regioselectivity.
