In the title compound, C21H16N2O3, the fused-ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.067 Å) is slightly buckled at the carbonyl C atom of the anthracenyl ring system [deviation = 0.177 (1) Å] that is closer to an allyl substituent. The two allyl units lie on the same side of the fused-ring plane but are oriented in opposite directions, with N—C—C—C torsion angles of 126.9 (2) and 116.7 (2)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked into chains propagating along the b axis by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

To a solution of 1H-anthra[2,1-d]imidazole-2,6,11(3H)-trione (1.00 g, 0.38 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.56 g,11 mmol) and tetra n-butyl ammonium bromide (0.12 g, 0.38 mmol) in DMF (20 ml)) was added allyl bromide (0.77 ml, 11 mmol). Stirring was continued at room temperature for 24 h. The mixture was filtered and the solvent removed. The residue was extracted with water. The organic compound was chromatographed on a column of silica gel with ethyl acetate-hexane (1/1) as
Orange crystals were isolated when the solvent was allowed to evaporate.H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å) and were included in the

An imidazol-one such as 1H-anthra[2,1-d]imidazole-2,6,11(3H)-trione, in which the five-membered ring is fused with an anthraquinone system, alkyl halides under catalytic conditions to yield di-N,N'-substituted derivatives that serve as starting reagents for the synthesis of other drugs. The anthraquinone system itself is found in a large number of pigments and dyes. The title compound (Scheme I, Fig. 1) is a deep orange material that may be useful as an organic fluorophone.
The title molecule features four rings that are fused together (r.m.s. deviation 0.067 Å). The fused-ring system is slightly buckled at that carbonyl C-atom, C3, of the anthracenyl system [0.177 (1) Å] that is closer to an allyl substituent. The pendant allyl units lie on the same side of the fused-ring plane but are oriented in opposite directions. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
