The first intermolecular 9,10–1′,4′ photodimerization of the anthracene ring
Abstract
9,10–1′,4′ Unsymmetrical anthracene ring photodimerization is observed upon irradiation of a 2,6-didecyloxyanthracene; this is the first example of anthracene intermolecular photodimerization not restricted to the meso positions.
