Abstract
It is well known that 1 : 14-benzbisanthrene readily adds maleic anhydride, forming an adduct which yields ovalene on decarboxylation and dehydrogenation. The corresponding conversion of 1 : 12-benzperylene into coronene proceeds only under the most forcing conditons. Trotter w ho carried out the structural investigatiorns1,2 on both 1 : 14-benzbisanthrene and 1 : 12-benzperylene put forward an explanation for such behaviour based on the assumption' of greater bond fixation in 1 : 14-benzbisanthrene than in 1 : 12-benzperylene.
