Hydrogenation versus dehydrogenation

[edit]

The article says that it's susceptible to hydrogenation at the 9 and 10 positions, but those carbons are already fully hydrogenated. I believe what it's trying to say is that it's susceptible to dehydrogenation at the 9 and 10 positions, as that would result in increased stability through the formation of aromatic anthracene. 2607:8400:220A:2:51B4:64EB:6B90:4DB9 (talk) 21:11, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I misread the sentence and didn't realize it was talking about anthracene instead of 9,10-Dihydroanthracene. 2607:8400:220A:2:51B4:64EB:6B90:4DB9 (talk) 21:15, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
