9,9'-Bifluorenyl (6), 1,2,2,2-tetraphenylethane (10) and 10,10'-bianthrone (18) have been obtained as a new type of products in Clemmensen reduction of 9H-fluoren-9-one (3), benzophenone (7) and 9,10-anthraquinone (13) respectively.Dibenzochrysene (5) is formed as the major product in the reduction of 3.Plausible mechanistic pathways for the formation of the unconventional products have been delineated.
