Anthracene-9-carbaldehyde is the most common monoaldehyde derivative of anthracene. It is a yellow solid that is soluble in common organic solvents. It is prepared by Vilsmeier formylation of anthracene.^[1]^[2] The compound is also used as a building block for supramolecular assemblies.^[3] Hydrogenation of 9-anthracenecarboxaldehyde gives 9-anthracenemethanol.
