Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 66720607, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 57 mg of 2,3-methylenedioxy-6,13-pentacenequinone dissolved in 25 mL of THF was added to 1.6 mL of a 1 mol/1000 mL THF solution of lithium triethylborohydride, and they were allowed to react with each other at room temperature for 1 hour 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 6,13-dihydro-6,13-dihydroxy-2,3-(methylendioxy)pentacene almost stoichiometrically.
