The flow-vacuum pyrolysis of 2-methyl-cis-9,10-bis(hydroxymethyl)-9,10-dihydroanthracene (6) was studied by GC/MS at 1.33 mbar in argon atmosphere between 500°C and 650°C. The major reaction products were: 2-methyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (19) and 2-methylanthracene (15), the minor products being 9,10-dimethylanthracene (20) and probably one of its positional isomers. Increasing the pyrolysis temperature produces the conversion of 19 into 15. The thermal behavior of 6 was rationalized on the basis of a radical mechanism.
