, p. 1555 - 1560 (1986)
A series of mono-substituted lepidopterenes has been synthesized, and the effect of the substituent (methyl, formyl, cyano, benzoyl) on the 4+2 cycloreversion has been studied.Benzoyllepidopterene was thermally converted into benzoyldianthrylethane whose
DIENOPHILIC ANTHRACENES: FORMATION OF NOVEL TRIPTYCENES via THERMAL AND PHOTOCHEMICAL INTRAMOLECULAR DIELS-ALDER REACTIONS OF DIANTHRYLETHANES

1,2-Di(9-anthryl)ethanes, accessible by thermolysis of lepidopterenes, undergo thermal and photochemical intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions to give 1,2-dihydroanthracenes whose aromatization leads to novel derivatives of triptycene.
