Friedel-Crafts isopropylation of pyrene in neat isopropyl chloride yielded a series of mono, di, tri, tetra, and pentaisopropylpyrenes.Tetra and pentacyclopentyl- and cyclohexylpyrenes were formed analogously.Cathodic isopropylation by controlled potential electrolysis yielded both fully aromatic and partly hydrogenated isopropylpyrenes.Structure of these compounds, spectroscopic properties and mechanistic aspects of their formation are discussed.The catalytic hydrogenation (Raney nickel) of pyrene and isopropylpyrenes under very mild conditions has also been studied.
