Abstract

The possibility of preparing a still higher benzolog of acenaphthene by repeating the series of reactions used in the above syntheses was examined briefly. Condensed with succinic anhydride in nitrobenzene solution, tetrahydroacephenanthrene gave in good yield a keto acid which probably has the structure of X. This is inferred from the fact that sub-
