Abstract

Methods for the syntheses of bridge ketone and alcohol derivatives of methylene-bridged polyarenes from the parent hydrocarbons are described. The polyarenea investigated include 4H-cyclopenta [deflphenanthrene (la), fluorene (2a), 7H-bnzo [c] fluorene (b), 4H- cyclopenta [deflcbryaene (4a), llH-Benz [bc] aceanthrylene (Sa), lOH-indeno [1, 2, 7, 7a-bcd] pyrene (6a), l~-dibenm [bc,~ aceenthrylene (7a), 4H-fluoreno [4, 4e, 4b, 5abc] an~~ ne (h), ...
