1
The redistilled adduct is pale yellow.
2
Oxides of nitrogen evolved.
3
Five per cent yield of a hydrocarbon (C24H20, m.p. 77°) obtained.
4
Twenty-five per cent yield of bz-l-phmyl-bz-2-nitrobenzanthrone obtained.
5
The structure of the adduct not established.
6
The nitro group was reduced electrolytically in an acid medium at a lead cathode. The ethene remained unattacked.
7
This nitro adduct can be reduced to an amine which is identical with that obtained from the Curtius degradation of the cyclopentadiene-aerylic acid addition
product.
8
This adduct is soluble in aqueous alkali.
