Free radical halogenation of 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline with N-bromosuccinimide and N-chlorosuccinimide form the known α-methyl derivatives 2,9-bis(trihalomethyl)-1,10-phenanthrolines.The compound 2,9-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,10-phenanthroline can be used for one-step syntheses of oxidatively resistant fluoro- and partially reduced chloromethyl derivatives capable of coordination to metal oxidation catalysts.
