  2. Anthracene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracene

    Anthracene is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) of formula C 14 H 10, consisting of three fused benzene rings. It is a component of coal tar . Anthracene is used in the production of the red dye alizarin and other dyes, as a Scintillator to detect high energy particles, as production of pharmaceutical drugs.

  3. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_aromatic...

    A Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is a class of organic compounds that is composed of multiple aromatic rings.Most are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic matter— by engine exhaust fumes, tobacco, incinerators, in roasted meats and cereals, [1] or when biomass burns at lower temperatures as in forest fires.

  4. 9,10-Dihydroanthracene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9,10-Dihydroanthracene

    9,10-Dihydroanthracene is an organic compound that is derived from the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon anthracene. Several isomers of dihydroanthracene are known, but the 9,10 derivative is most common. It is a colourless solid that is used as a carrier of H 2 as a hydrogen-donor. [2]

  5. Benz (a)anthracene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benz(a)anthracene

    Benz[a]anthracene or benzo[a]anthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 18 H 12. [2] It is produced during incomplete combustion of organic matter. Benz[ a ]anthracene is one of carcinogenic constituents of tobacco smoke .

  6. Clar's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clar's_rule

    An aromatic π-sextet can be represented by a circle, as in the case of the anthracene molecule (below). Clar's rule states that for a benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (i.e. one with only hexagonal rings), the resonance structure with the largest number of disjoint aromatic π-sextets is the most important to characterize its chemical ...

  7. Polycyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_compound

    In the field of organic chemistry, a polycyclic compound is an organic compound featuring several closed rings of atoms, primarily carbon. [1] These ring substructures include cycloalkanes , aromatics , and other ring types.

  8. Dibenz (a,h)anthracene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dibenz(a,h)anthracene

    Dibenz[a,h]anthracene, Benzo[k]tetraphene or 1,2:5,6-Dibenzanthracene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 22 H 14. It is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) made of five fused benzene rings. It is a fused five-ringed PAH which is common as a pollutant of smoke and oils.

  9. Vilsmeier–Haack reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilsmeier–Haack_reaction

    The reaction of anthracene with N-methylformanilide, also using phosphorus oxychloride, gives 9-anthracenecarboxaldehyde: N -Methylformanilide and anthracene and phosphorus oxychloride In general, the electron-rich arene ( 3 ) must be much more active than benzene for the reaction to proceed; phenols or anilines are good substrates.
