Synthesis of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone and 9-methoxyphenanthrene by oxidation of phenanthrene with dihydroxy phenylselenonium benzenesulfonate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708004809

9,10-Phenanthrenequinone is prepared by oxidation of phenanthrene with dihydroxy phenylselenonium benzenesulfonate in boiling dioxane-water. 9-methoxyphenanthrene is obtained when the reaction is carried out in methanol.
