In the synthesis of 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-a,ß-succinic anhydride, why was the reaction kept in anhydrous environment? Water reacts with the anthracene to form a hydroxylated product Water reacts with the anthracene to produce a product with electron withdrawing group. Water reacts with the maleic anhydride, producing a dienophile with electron donating group. Water may hydrolyze the anhydride, which makes the dienophile less reactive
