Essay content:

Anthracene was the diene and maleic anhydride was the dienophile. The percent yield of the crude product was 69.03%. Following recrystallization of the product using xylene and vacuum filtration, a percent yield of 37.42% for the recrystallized product was collected. This was low due to the fact that some of the crude product was not recrystallized and was instead used to take a melting point of the crude product...

It was also low due to several of the crystals being stuck inside the flask and not going into the funnel. The percent recovery from recrystallization was 54.21%. The melting point of the crude product was 261 - 264°C. The melting point of the recrystallized product was 261 - 263°C. Comparing these values with the literature melting point of 262 - 264°C shows that the product was indeed 9, 10-dihydroanthracene-9, 10-?, ?-succinic anhydride and that recrystallization yielded a purer product...
