Abstract

Sept., 1942 THE SIX INACTIVE PERHYDRODIPHENIC ACIDS 1991 ... The stereochemistry of the hydrogenation of a number of derivatives of diphenic acid and of phenanthrene over a platinum catalyst is dis- cussed. The nine compounds studied all hydro- genate cis and syn. The results are explained on the basis of three hypotheses. 1. When one or more aromatic rings are hydro- genated during a single period of adsorption, the hydrogen atoms add to one side ...
