Anthracene is not chiral, if you draw a mirror image of the molecule you find that it is superimposable. All chiral compounds must have an enantiomer which is an identical compound that is nonsuperimposable.
And maleic anhydride is superimposable as well so therefore it isn't chiral. (If I assume you're referring to a Diels-Alder reaction then you'd probably like to know the answer to this as well.)

Which reagent is limiting cyclopentadiene or maleic anhydride?
Maleic Anhydride.
What would be best for disposing of maleic anhydride?
Put the maleic anhydride into the appropriately marked hazardous waste container.
Molar mass maleic anhydride?
Molecular Weight: 98.06
Is maleic anhydride an aromatic ring?
If maleic anhydride were planar, then it would actually be ANTIaromatic, because one of the lone pairs on the cyclic oxygen would participate in the cyclic pi-bonding. For this reason, maleic anhydride is NOT planar. The cyclic oxygen actually sticks out about .3 Angstroms, which breaks antiaromaticity. So, short answer: no.
What reaction would occur if toulene were not completely dry in a reaction between maleic anhydride and dimethylbutadiene?
I'm doing the same problem..are u in my chm206 lab? lol anyway..maleic anhydride reacts with water from the toluene to form maleic acid.
What is the product of anthrance with maleic anhydride?
The product of the reaction between anthracene and maleic anhydride is known as anthracene-maleic anhydride adduct. This adduct is commonly used in the synthesis of dyes, polymers, and other organic compounds.

Maleic Anhydride.

What is the chemical formula of maleic anhydride?
C4H2O3
What is the use of maleic anhydride in alkyd resin?
It use to reduce the part of phthalic anhydride

Side reaction for syclopentadiene with maleic anhydride?
Side reactions would be the reaction of cyclopentadiene with itself (dimerization) into dicyclopentadiene, as well as the formation of the exo-product along with the usual endo-product (cis-norbornene-5,6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride).
Industrial method of preparation of Fumaric Acid?
1. Maleic anhydride is hydrated. This produces maleic acid. 2. Maleic acid is isomerised in the presence of a catalyst. 3. Fumaric acid is produced. Easy as that! (Except the temperature and pressure have to be kept controlled throughout)
What has the author John Clyde Hunt written?
John Clyde Hunt has written: 'The aminolysis of maleic anhydride: the kinetic implication of a reactive intermediate' 'The aminolysis of cyclic anhydrides'
What type of isomers is shown by maleic acid and fumaric acid?
Maleic acid and fumaric acid are cis-trans isomers of each other.
