Abstract
The C–C single bonds of 9-alkyl-10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridines [AcrHR: R = 1-naphthylmethyl, diphenylmethyl, and AcrH (dimer)] are readily cleaved by perchloric acid in acetonitrile under irradiation of the absorption band of AcrHR to yield the corresponding alkane (RH) and 10-methylacridinium ion (AcrH+).
