Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/je00024a042

A convenient synthesis for 4- and 7-n-undecyl-1,10-phenanthrolines, based on a modified Doebner-von Miller reaction, is described for the following 1,10-phenanthrolines: 4-n-undecyl, 4,7-di-n-undecyl, 2-methyl-4-n-undecyl, 2,9-dimethyl-4-n-undecyl, and 2-methyl-7-n-undecyl.
