The Reaction of Maleic Anhydride With Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Abstract: The first part of this paper is concerned with a quantitative investigation of the reaction of various polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons with maleic anhydride. In the second part a micromethod for the separation of mixtures of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, based on this reaction, is described. These studies were undertaken in anticipation that such mixtures might occur in carcinogenic extracts from biological sources.

“…Also, the attainment of the equilibrium is favored by an increase in temperature, but the latter is limited by the thermal dissociation reaction. The optimum reaction conditions employed in this work followed closely those established by previous investigators (2,14,16), although some modifications were dictated by the occasional interference from asphaltic and tarry reaction products.…”

“…SEVERAL physical and chemical properties of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have shown limited correlation with carcinogenic activity. These include reactions with perbenzoic acid (7), lead tetraacetate (9), osmium tetraoxide (2, 3,18), p-nitrobenzenediazonium chloride (8), and maleic anhydride (12,18). However, none of these reactions has proved to be particularly useful as a method for predicting the carcinogenic properties of high boiling petroleum fractions.…”
