- 1 Any of several isomeric tricyclic aromatic heterocycles derived from anthracene by replacement of two CH groups by nitrogen atoms
"Aldrichimica Acta Volume 30 No 4 (pdf) from Sigma-Aldrich The annellation of the pyrimidine ring onto alicyclic alkenes has been achieved using Diels-Alder chemistry. 2,4-Dimethoxy-1,3-diazaanthracene (DDA) reacts with Smith’s diene under forcing thermal conditions (sealed tube at 180 °C) to form a mixture of stereoisomeric adducts which can be separated by fractional crystallization."
