A novel protocol for the synthesis of phenanthrenes through the copper-catalyzed reaction of aromatic tosylhydrazones with terminal alkynes is explored. The reaction proceeds via the formation of an allene intermediate and subsequent six-π-electron cyclization-isomerization, affording phenanthrene derivatives in good yields. The transformation can be performed in two ways:(1)with Ntosylhydrazones derived from [1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carbaldehydes and terminal alkynes as the starting materials and(2)with Ntosylhydrazones derived from aromatic aldehydes and 2-alkynyl biphenyls as the starting materials. This new phenanthrene synthesis uses readily available starting materials and a cheap copper catalyst and has a wide range of functional group compatibility.

A new method for the synthesis of phenanthrenes via ligand-free CuBr2-catalyzed coupling/cyclization of terminal alkynes with N-tosylhydrazones derived from o-formyl biphenyls has been developed. This new synthesis has wide range of functional group compatibility.
