Abstract: 9-(Phenyloxymethyl)anthracene 3 were prepared by the coupling reaction between 9- chloromethylanthracene and mono ethers 2 which were synthesized by the etherization between benzyl chloride and hydroquinone or resorcin.The intra-molecular photocycloaddition reaction of 3 between anthracene and benzene rings did not occur because the bond of -phenyl-O-CH2-anthryl- of 3 might be easily cleaved under irradiation with UV.Thus,biplanene 4 and lepidopterene 5 were formed by the cleavage of the bond and rearrangement of the radical under the irradiation of the diluted solution of 3 with UV.

Key words: anthracene, benzene, photocycloaddition, photochemistry
