Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of nine isomeric methyl-substituted acephenanthrylenes is described. Three different approaches were used. 1-, 2-, And 6-methylacephenanthrylene (1a, 1c and 1f) were prepared by formylation of acephenanthrene (2) and 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10- hexahydroacephenanthrylene (17), followed by Wolff-Kishner reduction and dehydrogenation. 4-, 5-, 7-And 10-methylacephenanthrylene (1d, 1e, 1g and 1j) were ...
