17.—The Bromination of 1-Nitro-, 1-Bromo-, and 1-Acetamidofluoranthene

Abstract

Synopsis1-Nitro-, 1-bromo-, and 1-acetamidofluoranthene undergo bromination to yield 4,9-dibrominated products. 1-Acetamidofluoranthene also yields 1-acetamido-4,8,9-tribrofluoranthene and as a side product 1-acetamido-4,8,9,x-tetrabromofluoranthene, from the former of which 1,4,8,9-tetrabromofluoranthene is obtained and found to be identical with the product resulting from the interaction of 1-bromofluoranthene with three molecules of bromine.
