Aromatic reactivity. Part XLIX. Detritiation of [3H]phenanthrenes and 9,10-dihydro[2-3H]phenanthrene
Abstract
Rates of detritiation in trifluoroacetic acid at 70·0 °C have been determined for 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 9-tritiophenanthrene and 2-tritio-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene. The rates relative to that for tritiobenzene are 900, 173, 385, 810, 1610, and 2740 respectively.
