Bogert-Cook method

Problem 30.30 Outline a possible synthesis of chrysene by the Bogert-Cook method (Problem 30.27, p. 944), starting from naphthalene and using any aliphatic or inorganic reagents. Hint See Problem 30.7(g), p. 977.)... 

It is a solid substance having a melting point 126-127°C and a molecular formula CigHjg. Based on the results of oxidation reactions. X-rays crystal analysis coupled with absorption spectrum measurements it was revealed that the hydrocarbon in question could be 3 -methyl-l 2-cyclopentanophenanthrene. The next essential step was to establish the structure of this compound by synthesis, e.g., that of Harper a/ (1934) who used the Bogert-Cook method commencing from ...
