Abstract
Aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons were reduced by potassium-graphite in tercalate KC8 to give 4n pi anti-aromatic systems. The reduction proce ss was followed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and was compared t o the reduction process with potassium metal. The latter allowed insig ht into the reaction mechanism of KC8.
