Coal Anion Structure and Chemistry of Coal Alkylation. Ninth Quarterly Progress Report, March 1-May 31, 1979

摘要

Five areas of research are discussed in this report. First, work on the synthesis of model compounds and on related control experiments is considered. Second, additional spectroscopic properties of tetrahydrofuran-soluble coal and butylated coal are discussed. Third, recent work with biphenyl as the electron transfer agent is examined. Fourth, more reductive alkylation reactions and some protonation reactions were carried out using potassium/liquid ammonia to generate the coal polyanion. Fifth, the reactions of tetralin-d sub 12 and diphenylmethane-d sub 2 with coal and with other model compounds are investigated. (ERA citation 05:014700)
