The intramolecular [2 + 4] cycloaddition reaction of E,E-9-anthrylmethylene-[1-(2,5-dimethyl-3-furylethylidene)]succinic anhydride

Abstract
Red and yellow E,Z-and Z,E-isomers of the title compound isomerise photochemically or thermally to the E,E-isomer, which undergoes a [2 + 4] intramolecular cycloaddition reaction at room temperature involving the 4,5-positions of the 2,5-dimethyl-3-furyl group and the 9,10-positions of the anthryl group.
