9,10-DIHYDROANTHRACENE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

brown crystals

Uses

9,10-Dihydroanthracene(DHA) has been used in a study to assess the hydrogen abstraction capability of valence-delocalized iron complex with DHA in MeCN.

General Description

9,10-Dihydroanthracene causes the transfer hydrogenation of C₆₀ and C₇₀ in the presence of [7H]benzanthrene catalyst. It was oxidatively aromatized to the corresponding anthracene in the presence of molecular oxygen as an oxidant and activated carbon as a promoter in xylene.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from EtOH [Rabideau et al. J Am Chem Soc 108 8130 1986]. [Beilstein 5 H 641, 5 IV 2182.]
