Abstract

Three hydrocarbons, with absorption maximum at 510 nm, 533 nm, and 567 nm respectively, have been synthesized by the condensation of naphthanthrone in a mixed flux of zinc chloride and sodium chloride with copper powder. The structures of the hydrocarbons have been determined by comparison with the products obtained by the alkali fusion and reduction of naphthanthrone and 2-bromonaphthanthrone.
