General description

9-bromophenanthrene is a versatile halogenated organic compound that can be used as a reagent in various reactions such as Friedel-Crafts reaction and the Diels-Alder reaction. It is also used as a precursor for the synthesis of 9-bromoanthracene, 9-bromophenanthroline, and 9-bromophenanthridine.

Application

9-bromophenanthrene can be used as a building block in the synthesis of N-heterocyclic-carbene complexes via Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling reaction with aryl boronic acids.

For the last decades, the hydrogen-abstraction-acetylene-addition (HACA) mechanism has been widely invoked to rationalize the high-temperature synthesis of PAHs as detected in carbonaceous meteorites (CM) and proposed to exist in the interstellar medium (ISM). By unravelling the chemistry of the
