FLASH VACUUM THERMOLYSIS OF 1,5-BIS-(1-CHLOROETHENYL)ANTHRACENE - THETHERMAL-CONVERSION OF CYCLOPENT[HI]ACEANTHRYLENE INTO CYCLOPENT[HI]ACEPHENANTHRYLENE
M. Sarobe et al., FLASH VACUUM THERMOLYSIS OF 1,5-BIS-(1-CHLOROETHENYL)ANTHRACENE - THETHERMAL-CONVERSION OF CYCLOPENT[HI]ACEANTHRYLENE INTO CYCLOPENT[HI]ACEPHENANTHRYLENE, Tetrahedron letters, 36(52), 1995, pp. 9565-9566
Flash Vacuum Thermolysis of 1,5-bis-(1-chloroethenyl)anthracene (6) gi
ves cyclopent[hi]aceanthrylene (2) which at T greater than or equal to
900 degrees C rearranges to cyclopent[hi]acephenanthrylene (1). This
conversion occurs more readily than that of the monocyclopenta-fused a
ceanthrylene to acephenanthrylene.
