N2 - The action of AlCl3 on representative polyaromatic (naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene) and hydroaromatic (tetralin, dodecahydrotriphenylene) molecules under inert atmosphere conditions at 20 °C (hexane solution) or 70 °C (heptane solution) has been investigated. Even at these low temperatures conversion to hydrogenated and rearranged structures is significant, giving product distributions resembling those obtained from corresponding reactions conducted at 300-400 °C under hydrogen pressure.
