Abstract: Friedel-Crafts reactions of a series of alkyl halides with benzene gave well-resolved ESRspectra which originated from 9,10-disubstituted anthracene radical cations formed through one-electron oxidation of the parent compounds by Lewis acid. Asimple method for the formation of 9,10-disubstituted anthracene radical cations has been developed and an ESRspectrum of a new radical cation 1,2,3, 4,5,6,7,8-octadeuteroanthracene is reported.

Key words: Friedel-Crafts reaction, ESR spectrum, Radical cations
