Abstract

[...]In our detailed study of the synthesis, results dis_closed a number of difficulties encountered in the Reformatsky reaction and a seriousirregularity in the last step in the oxidation to the quinone. A compound, also a quinone, always appeared in the oxidation product as acontaminant but no mention of it was made in the original literature. Attempts were made, therefore, to determine the optimum conditions forsecuring the amphi-ohrysenequinone in good yield. In the following section we have presented a description of the work dealing with the Reformatskyreaction, the intermediate steps and the final oxidation. The evidence which ultimately led us to a method of securing the 2,8- oramphi-chrysenequinone in satisfactory yield will be fully described.
