Abstract

Ahydrocarbon isolated by Carruthers and Cook from a fraction of an American crude oil, and shown from its ultraviolet spectrum to be a derivative of chrysene, has been identified as the tetrahydropicene derivative (11). The molecular weight, determined by mass spectroscopy, was 324, in agreement with the formula C, H,,. It was resistant to dehydrogenation with palladium, 2 but with selenium at 350" 2, 9-dimethylpicene (I) was obtained, accounting ...
