Abstract

The chemical behavior of o-terphenyl has not hitherto been determined, mainly on account of its inaccessibility.'All derivatives reported in the, literature have contained the substituent groups in the central riiig. They have resulted from degradation of more complex molecules or from diene syntheses. 2 Indeed, this last reaction furnishes the most suitable procedure for synthesizing such derivatives. Having accumulated a supply of the hydrocarbonla its ...
