Q 1120 Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution of 7-t-Butyl-1,3-dimethylpyrene: Prepara-
46- 102 tion of 5-Mono- and 5,9-Di-Substituted 7-t-Butyl-1,3-dimethylpyrenes. — Formy-
lation and acetylation of the title pyrene (I) afford selectively 5-mono- or 5,9-disubsti-
tuted products depending on the Lewis acid catalyst used. However, bromination and
nitration afford 6-substituted products. — (HU, J.-Y.; PAUDEL, A.; YAMATO*, T.;
