Abstract

A practical synthesis of 4-phenanthrenecarboxylic acid (VII) and its conversion to 4-aminophenanthrene and 4,5-phenan- The conversion of VI1 to 4-phenanthrene isocyanate in the Schmidt reaction is also reported. thrylene ketone is described. ... The first example of a purely aromatic poly- cyclic hydrocarbon which owes its optical activity to molecular overcrowding was provided by the synthesis and resolution of hexahelicene.2 In or- der to extend the program to hepta- ...
