Pentaphene (C 22 H 14 ) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with five fused benzene rings . The greenish-yellow compound does not dissolve in water or ethanol , but does dissolve well in non-polar organic solvents such as xylene and diethyl ether . Under UV light , penthaphene shows intense blue fluorescence .

The polycycle can be prepared in a six-step synthesis from o -benzoic acid.
