- The Regioselective Methylation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons through Tricarbonylchromium Coordination
-
Deprotonation, methylation, and air oxidation of polycyclic arenes coordinated to chromium(0), (η6-arene)Cr(CO)3, produced ring-methylated products with high selectivity and in good yield. This procedure gave 3-methylbenz[a]anthracene from (η6-benz[a]anthracene)Cr(CO)3, 3-methylphenanthrene from (η6-phenanthrene)Cr(CO)3, 2-acetyl-6-methylphenanthrene from (η6-2-acetylphenamhrene)Cr(CO)3, and 3,7,12-trimethylbenz[a]anthracene from (η6-7,12-dimelhylbenz[a]anthracene)Cr(CO)3.
