Abstract

Substituted 17-methyl-15H-cyclopenta [a] phenanthrenes have been prepared from the corresponding 15, 16-dihydro-17-ketones by the Grignard reaction, and reduced to the analogues of the Diels hydrocarbon. The 15, 16-dihydro-17-methylene-derivative (unsubstituted) was obtained by the Witting reaction. Elimination from the 17-toluene-p- sulphonyloxy-compound at 170° gave the Δ15–17H-compound (A), but at 100° the Δ16– ...
