Dramatic influence of nitrogen heterocycles on the activity of low-valent titanium reagent: An improved one-pot synthesis of phenanthrenes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508010799

A novel low-valent titanium (LVT) induced one-pot synthesis of phenanthrenes (25-38% yield) from ortho-alkoxy aromatic aldehydes/ketones was reported by us earlier. Activity of LVT complex could be modulated rationally by using catalytic amount of pyridine. Use of this LVT-pyridine reagent system improved the yields of phenanthrenes (3) by two folds.
