摘要

Abstract: In contrast to meso-methylanthracenes, which are oxidized by one-electron oxidants to hydroxymethyl derivatives, meso-ethylanthracenes such as 9, lO- diethylanthracene (DEA) undergo a facile chemical or biochemical oxidative elimination of ethylene to yield an anthrone. No trace of ethyl side chain oxidation to a I-hydroxyethyl derivative is observed. The rationale for this dramatic selection between methyl and ethyl ...
