Abstract

A series of (9-pX-phenyl-9-fluoreny1) acetaldehydes (5)(X= H, F, Cl, OCH3, SCH3, SOCH3, S02CH3, and CHs) have been synthesized, characterized, and decarbonylated in the presence and absence of benzyl mercaptan to yield (9-pX-phenyl-9-fluoreny1) carbinyl radicals (U.). In the presence of mercaptan, these radicals rearranged to yield 9, 10-dihydi* o- 9-pX-phenylphenanthrenes (7) and 9-pX-phenyl phenanthrenes (6), and abstracted ...
