The hitherto unknown mono-aldehydes of phenanthrene are of interest to us primarily for the promise they offer of synthesis of a variety of pharmacologically interesting substances, as phenanthryl-6-ethylamines, isoquinoline-like compounds and similar types. Since we have available a satisfactory method for the preparation of three phenanthrenecarboxylic acids on a large scale, the 9-isomer from 9-bromophenanthrene, 2 the 2-and 3-isomers from the ...
