FLUORANTHENE, C15H10

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 575 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FLUORANTHENE, C15H10 , also known as idryl, a hydrocarbon occurring with phenanthrene, pyrene,
diphenyl
 , and other substances in " Stupp " fat (the fat obtained in working up the
mercury
  ores in Idria), and. also in the higher boiling fractions of the coal tar distillate. It was discovered by R. Fittigin 1878, who, with Gebhard and H. Liepmann, elucidated its constitution (see Ann., 1879, 200, p. I). The
hydrocarbons
  are separated from the " Stupp " by means of
alcohol
 , the soluble portion on
distillation
  giving first phenanthrene and then a mixture of pyrene and fluoranthene. From the tar distillate, the chrysene can be fractionally precipitated, and the fluoranthene can be separated from most of the pyrene by fractional
distillation
  in a partial vacuum. In either
case
  the two
hydrocarbons
  are finally separated by fractional crystallization of their picrates, which are then decomposed by ammonia. Fluoranthene crystallizes in large slender needles or
monoclinic
  tables, melting at 10g-110 C. and boiling at 250251 C. (6o mm.). It is easily soluble in hot
alcohol
 , ether and carbon bisulphide. On oxidation with chromic acid it forms a quinone, C15HSO2, and an a-diphenylene keto-
CeHic
carboxylic acid Cr,H3>CO2H The picrate melts at 182183 C.
