Abstract 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 .
