Thermal reduction of 7H-benz[d,e]anthracen-7-one and related ketones under hydrogen-transfer conditions

In the presence of hydrogen donor solvents and at elevated temperatures, aromatic ketones can be selectively deoxygenated to the corresponding hydroaromatic compounds. The kinetics for reduction of 7H-benz[d,e]anthracen-7-one (benzanthrone, 6) into 7H-benz[d,e]anthracene (benzanthrene, 1) in 9,10-dihydroanthracene (3) solvent has been investigated in detail. The relatively slow hydrogenation of 6 is due to reversibility of the initial hydrogen-transfer step according to a reverse radical disproportionation (RRD). The dynamics could well be rationalized using the energetics of species computed by density functional theory (DFT). The application of hydrogen donors such as 1 as a hydrogen-transfer agent, although favorable in terms of a low benzylic carbon-hydrogen bond dissociation enthalpy, is limited due to the slow self-hydrogenation, which in case of 1 gives 5,6-dihydro-4H-benz[d,e]anthracene (7).
