Abstract

[7H]Benzanthrene 2 was used as a catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of C₆₀ and C₇₀ by 9,10-dihydroanthracene 1. The catalyst allowed milder reaction conditions (250 °C) than the non catalyzed procedure did (350 °C).² The reaction products identified by EI-MS were C₆₀H₃₆, C₆₀H₄₄ and C₇₀H₃₆ thus a higher degree of hydrogenation could be reached in the case of C₆₀. The method is also suitable for deuteration. A structure proposal for C₇₀H₃₆ and its ΔH_f(g) from molecular mechanics calculations are presented.
