The alkylation of phenanthrene with tert-butyl alcohol in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid or with tert-butyl chloride, catalyzed by the TiCl/sub 4/, FeCl/sub 3/-CH/sub 3/NO/sub 2/, and AlCl/sub 3/-CH/sub 3/NO/sub 2/, leads to formation of 2- and 3-tert-butylphenanthrene and also 2,6-, 2,7-, and 3,6-di-tert-butylphenanthrene. The exhaustive alkylation of phenanthrene leads to the formation of the above-mentioned isomeric di-tert-butylphenanthrenes, the ratios of which depend on the nature of the catalyst.
