The uv irradiation of phenanthrene 9, 10‐imine has been shown to give 9 H ‐tetrabenzo[ a, c, g, i ]carbazole as the major photo‐product both in argon purged acetone and in dichloromethane. Phenanthrazine, N ‐9‐phenanthrenyl‐9‐phenanthrenamine and phenanthrene were formed in smaller quantities. 9‐Phenanthrenamine was found to be a minor by‐product. N ‐Butylphenanthrene 9, 10‐imine yielded under similar conditions phenanthrene and N ‐butyl‐9‐phenanthrenamine as the only isolable polycyclic compounds. In the presence of air the substituted imine gave mainly 2‐propylphenanthro[9, 10‐ d ]oxazole.
