1H-Phenalene, often called simply phenalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). Like many PAHs, it is an atmospheric pollutant formed during the combustion of fossil fuels.[1] It is the parent compound for the phosphorus-containing phosphaphenalenes.
The name was proposed by German chemists in 1922 as a contraction of periphenonaphthalene.[2]
Reactions
Phenalene is deprotonated by potassium methoxide to give the phenalenyl anion.[3]
