Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 66720718, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 334 mg of 2,3-dihexyl-6,13-pentacenequinone dissolved in 50 mL of THF was added to 11 mL of a 1 mol/1000 mL THF solution of lithium triethylborohydride, and the mixture was heated for 20 hours under reflux in a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting solution was neutralized with diluted aqueous hydrochloric acid, and the organic phase was separated, concentrated and dried under a vacuum to produce 2,3-dihexyl-6,13-dihydro-6,13-dihydroxypentacene almost stoichiometrically.
