9-t-butyl-10-methyl-9,10-endotrioxy-9,10-dihydroanthracene underwent reductive decomposition readily with transition metal compounds having one-electron reducibility to result unexpectedly in the specific cleavage of the shorter O–O bond close to the t-butyl group in the trioxide finally giving rise to 10-methyloxanthrone and t-butyl alcohol. A plausible mechanism is discussed.
