The reactions of alkali metal salts of anthracene with alkyl halides result in the formation of 9,10-dialkyl 9,10-dihydroanthracenes as the principal product, although appreciable quantities of other adducts, notably the 1,2-and 1,4-dialkyl compounds, are also formed. When the disodium salt is used
