Abstract

Abstract Photolysis of anthracene (350 nm) in aerated water yields endoperoxide and 9, 10- anthraquinone as the major primary photoproducts. Photolysis of anthracene in oxygen- deficient aqueous solutions yields the three isomers of 10, 10′-dihydroxy-9, 9′, 10, 10′- tetrahydro-9, 9′-bianthryl as the primary photoproduct. Involvement of a cation radical mechanism is suggested.
