Abstract

Summary: The novel 9, 10-epidithio-9, 10-dihydroanthracene(2a) was formed as an intermediate in the reaction of 9, 10-dihydro-9, 10-(1, 3-epixthio-2-methano-2-p- methoxyphenyl-1-oxide) propanoanthracene(3) with perchloric acid. Singlet diatomic sulfur was generated from endodisulfTde & and trapped with conjugated dienes.
