Stannous Chloride Mediated Formation of (9-Anthryl)methyl Dimers from (Halogenomethyl)anthracenes. Ground-State and Adiabatic Excited-State Reversibility of Intramolecular Cycloadditions

9-(Halogenomethyl)anthracenes react with stannous chloride dihydrate in dioxane solution to give tetrabenzotetracyclotetradecatetraenes ("lepidopterenes") in excellent yields. The involvement of tin trihalides in the reaction is suggest
