Abstract
THE isolation of 1,2-benzanthracene and 4′-methyl-1,2-benzanthracene from a crystalline mixture of benzanthracene homologues, obtained from fractions of a Kuwait mineral oil by reaction with maleic anhydride, was described in an earlier communication1. We have now isolated another isomer from the mixture and identified it as 7-methyl-1,2-benzanthracene, and obtained some insight into the composition of the monomethylbenz-anthracene fraction by gas–liquid chromatographic analysis.
