The disodium addition product of dibenzo STAa,c! anthracene is prepared by action of sodium powder in tetrahydrofuran as a solvent. Hydrolysis by tritiated water gives rise to 9-14 dihydro-dibenzo STAa,c! anthracene-9-14 H/sup 3/ which is dehydrogenated into the required compound. Chemical yield based on dibenzo STAa,c! anthracene is 89% and radioactive yield based on tritiated water is about 12%. (auth)
