The preparation by a convenient route of 9-methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, l-butyl, and benzyl phenanthrenes is described. This consists of the alkylation of methyl fluorene-9-carboxylate under mild conditions, reduction of the ester group with lithium aluminum hydride, and then tosylation of the carbinol. The tosyl esters so prepared rearrange to alkylphenanthrenes with simultaneous loss of the elements of toluenesulphonic acid, when heated alone or in formic acid. Dehydration of the carbinols at 160 ° with polyphosphoric acid also promotes rearrangement.

AbstractEnvironmentally benign synthesis of graphite at low temperatures is a great challenge in the absence of transition metal catalysts. Herein, we report a green and efficient approach of synthesizing graphite from carbon dioxide at ultralow temperatures in the absence of transition metal catalysts. Carbon dioxide is converted into graphite submicroflakes in the seconds timescale via reacting with lithium aluminum hydride as the mixture of carbon dioxide and lithium aluminum hydride is heated to as low as 126 °C. Gas pressure-dependent kinetic barriers for synthesizing graphite is demonstrated to be the major reason for our synthesis of graphite without the graphitization process of amorphous carbon. When serving as lithium storage materials, graphite submicroflakes exhibit excellent rate capability and cycling performance with a reversible capacity of ~320 mAh g–1 after 1500 cycles at 1.0 A g–1. This study provides an avenue to synthesize graphite from greenhouse gases at low temperatures.
