Phenanthrenes are synthesized by condensation of formylbenzoquinone with a substituted toluene followed by O-methylation and cyclization using the phosphazine base P 4 -tBu.
A new general synthesis of substituted phenanthrene derivatives, involving photocyclization of substituted 2-iodostilbenes, is presented herewith. The usefulness of the method for the synthesis of nitrophenanthrenes, not readily accessible by other approaches, is illustrated in an efficient synthesi
## 77~ photosensitized electron transfer reactions of several I-and 9-(aminoalkyf)phenanthrenes with metadicyanobenzene have been investigated. These reactions provkie an effldent method of synthesis for the skeletal structures of the apcrphlne, phenantfwpipefM?e, and phenanthnxzephw alkabids. ##
Unlike most other alternant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are carcinogenic, benzo[c]phenanthrene has a "fjord region" instead of a "bay region". For this reason, we have synthesized the three metabolically possible trans 1,2-, 3,4-, and 5,6-dihydrodiols to test them for carcinogenic activit
