Dendrimers 6Gi (i=1-4) consisting of an anthracene core and Frechet dendrons which are attached via a CH2OCH2 chain in the 9-position undergo quantitative and completely reversible intramolecular [4π+4π] cycloaddition. The
Intramolecular photocycloaddition of anthracene and benzene ring systems

The anthracenes 3a-c, substituted in the 9-position with 3,5-dialkoxybenzyloxymethyl groups exhibit, in diluted solutions, intramolecular [4π+4π] photocycloaddition reactions to the polycyclic compounds 4a-c. The quantitative processes are completely reversible by heating, unless acid-catalyzed cleavages lead to thermally stable mono- and diketones: 4a-c→5a-c→6.
