Abstract

Two hydrocarbons previously isolated from a Kuwait mineral oil have been identified as 1, 3, 6, 8-and 1, 4, 5, 8-tetramethylanthracene. 1, 3, 6, 7-and 2, 3, 6, 7-Tetramethylanthracene have been isolated from a high-boiling fraction of an Oklahoma oil. Syntheses of 1, 3, 6-and 1, 3, 7-trimethyl-, and of 1, 3, 5, 7-, 1, 3, 6, 8-, and 1, 4, 5, 8-tetramethyl-anthracene are described. The 1, 3, 6-trimethyl-and 1, 3, 6, 8-and 1, 4, 5, 8-tetramethyl compounds are ...
