Abstract
The preparative cathodic reduction of anthracene and phenanthrene was investigated aiming at obtaining Birch-type products in aqueous solutions. Following previous reports, reductions were carried out using mercury pool cathodes and tetrabutylammonium electrolytes. Optimum conditions were found to involve tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as the electrolyte and water as the sole solvent. Reactions were carried out in a simple cell, ...
