Hydrogenation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Al/Ti Reagents
Yalpani, Mohamed
, p. 983 - 987 (2007/10/02)
Treatment of anthracene (A) with LiAlH4 (LAH) at 150 deg C under atmospheric pressure gives 9,10-di- and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroanthracene (2H-A and 4H-A).At 160-200 deg C and under hydrogen pressure (10-90 bar) a number of simple and polycyclic aromatic compounds are converted to fully or partially hydrogenated arenes.Addition of small amounts of TiCl4 or TiCl3 and the choice of solvents (heptane or glymes) have marked effects on the reaction.The pair triethylaluminium/TiCl4 acts also as efficient hydrogenation catalyst.
A SAFE AND CONVENIENT NEW PROCEDURE FOR REDUCING AROMATIC COMPOUNDS TO BIRCH-TYPE PRODUCTS
Benkeser, Robert A.,Laugal, James A.,Rappa, Angela
, p. 2089 - 2092 (2007/10/02)
Aromatic compounds can be reduced by a calcium-amine-t-butyl alcohol system to products which are identical to those obtained by a Birch reduction of the same substrates.
