Abstract

Willgerodt and Albert2 reported that benzoyl chloride reacts with phenanthrene in carbon disulfide solution in presence of aluminum chloride and gives!>-benzoylphenanthrene having a melting point of 127". Recently'we synthesized 9-benzoylphenanthrene and found it to have a melting point of 89.5-90'; another form which we have just obtained melts at 80- 81". In an attempt to determine the nature of Willgerodt and Albert's product, we have ...
