Tandem Acylation-Cycloalkylation: A Novel Synthesis of Phenanthrenes.

-The substituted hexahydrophenanthrenes (III) are prepared in a tandem acylation-cycloalkylation sequence. Subsequent dehydrogenation gives the aromatic phenanthrenes (IV). The hexahydro compounds (III) are of interest as precursors in natural product synthesis. -(RAMANA, M. M. V.;
