ELECTROCHEMICALLY INITIATED FRAGMENTATION REACTION OF 9,9'-DINITRO-9,9',10,10'-TETRAHYDRO-10,10'-BIANTHRYL

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00961289

A mechanism for the electroreduction of 9,9'-dinitro-9,9',10,10'-tetrahydro-10,10'-bianthryl in DMF, which results in the formation of anthracene and 9-nitroanthracene has been proposed on the basis of data from polarography, cyclic voltammetry, and electrolysis at a controlled potential.
