Anthracene, C 14 H 10, has a Lewis structure that is simply three benzene (C 6 H 6) molecules fused together in a row. [14] A classic laboratory method for the preparation of anthracene is by cyclodehydration of o-methyl- or o-methylene-substituted diarylketones in the so-called Elbs reaction. A variety of anthracene derivatives find specialized uses. It is a component of coal tar. ; Keeran, W.S. The mineral form of anthracene is called freitalite and is related to a coal deposit.
