Abstract: | 9,10‐Diphenyl‐9,10‐epidioxyanthracene, C26H18O2, (I), was accidentally used in a photooxygenation reaction that produced 9,10‐dihydro‐10,10‐dimethoxy‐9‐phenylanthracen‐9‐ol, C22H20O3, (II). In both compounds, the phenyl rings are approximately orthogonal to the anthracene moiety. The conformation of the anthracene moiety differs as a result of substitution. Intramolecular C—H⃛O interactions in (I) form two approximately planar S(5) rings in each of the two crystallographically independent molecules. The packing of (I) and (II) consists of molecular dimers stabilized by C—H⃛O interactions and of molecular chains stabilized by O—H⃛O interactions, respectively. |
