摘要

This communication reports a novel and efficient synthesis of lepidopterene from 9- (chloromethyl) anthracene. Furthermore, the radical nature of the process is unambiguously established through the obtention of several 9-anthracenemethyl derivatives, which are formed via a common 9-anthracenemethyl radical intermediate, derived from 9-(iodomethyl) anthracene.
