The Effects of Aromatic Compounds on the Hydrogen-Transfer Reaction to Coal Model Compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.64.1034

A hydrogen-transfer reaction from a hydrogen molecule to benzophenone in 1-methylnaphthalene without a donor was accelerated in the presence of anthracene.Phenanthrene and pyrene were detrimental to the reaction.Dibenzyl ether conversion was also accelerated by the addition of anthracene, pyrene, and fluorene.Conversions of coal model compounds in 1-methylnaphthalene under a hydrogen atmosphere correlated well with conversions in tetralin under a nitrogen atmosphere.
