Abstract

Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons when treated with iodine monochloride in water solutions of sulfuric acid afford iodo-and chloroderivatives. Biphenyl, fluorene, acenaphthene, 1-nitronaphthalene undergo iodination. Naphthalene furnishes a mixture of iodo-and chloroderivatives, prevailing the latter. Anthracene and phenanthrene provide only chlorinated products. The iodine monochloride in the sulfuric acid is a stronger iodinating ...
