In the reaction of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons with alkali metals in liquid ammonia to produce hydroaromatics, it has been found that in certain instances protonation does not occur at the calculated position of highest electron density but rather at a position to produce the most stable monoanion. The isolation of a number of new and interesting hydrocarbons produced by this reaction are reported herein. UV- and NMR-spectral studies were used to determine the structures of the product compounds.
