3-(9',10'-Dihydro-9',10'-ethanoanthracen-11'-ylidene)prop-2-enoyl chloride and its [12',12'-2H2] and [1-13C] isotopomers have been prepared and pyrolysed. Argon matrix infrared spectroscopy showed ν2 bands at 2207.7, 2207.0, and 2168.5 cm-1 respectively for the three pentatetraenone isotopomers. The pyrolysate of the 12'-methyl substituted precursor showed a band at 2205 cm-1 which was tentatively assigned to methylpentatetraenone. The 12'-ethenyl substituted precursor gave a pyrolysate showing ketene bands but also yielded 9,10-dihydro-9,10[1',2']-benzenoanthracene.
