The uv irradiation of phenanthrene-9,10-imine has been shown to give 9H-tetrabenzocarbazole as the major photo-product both in argon purged acetone and in dichloromethane.Phenanthrazine, N-9-phenanthrenyl-9-phenanthrenamine and phenanthrene were formed in smaller quantities. 9-Phenanthrenamine was found to be a minor by-product.N-Butylphenanthrene 9,10-imine yielded under similar conditions phenanthrene and N-butyl-9-phenanthrenamine as the only isolable polycyclic compounds.In the presence of air the substituted imine gave mainly 2-propylphenanthrooxazole.
