DIBENZYLMERCURY (I) decomposes readily on heating at 170° or above to form mercury and dibenzyl1-3. 9,10-Dihydroanthracene (II) is a hydrogen transfer reagent which has been used in several reactions where a hydrogen donor is required, for example, the formation of quinols from quinones4 and the hydrogenation of thiyl radicals to form thiols5. When (I) was thermally decomposed under nitrogen in the presence of (II) at 210°-215° the products obtained were mercury, dibenzyl, toluene and 9,9', 10,10'-tetrahydrodianthranyl-9,9' (III), m.p. 249°, which was identified by combustion analysis (calc. for C28H22 : C, 93.85; H, 6.15; found: C, 93.9; H, 6.1), mixed meltingpoint with an authentic sample (mixed m.p. 249°) and conversion to 9,10-dibromoanthracene by reaction with bromine in carbon disulphide6.
