Highly efficient regiospecific routes to potentially carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as substituted benzo[c]phenanthrenes, benzo[c]fluorenes, 16,17-dihydro-11-methyl-15[H]cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene, 5-methyl-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrochrysene and 1,4-dimethylphenanthrene have been developed. The overall strategy involves our aromatic annulation protocol through base induced conjugate addition-elimination on the cyclic and acyclic α-oxoketene dithioacetals with the appropriate arylacetonitriles followed by acid induced cyclodehydration of the resulting conjugate adducts. Subsequent reductive dethiomethylation (Raney Ni) and dehydrogenation (DDQ) of the cyclized products affords the methyl substituted PAHs in high yields.
A NEW SYNTHESIS OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS VIA TITANIUM(IV)-CATALYZED ALDOL-TYPE CONDENSATION OF SILYL ENOL ETHERS WITH 2-ARYLACETALDEHYDES

Anovel one-pot synthesis of angular polycyclic hydrocarbon ring systems involving Ti(IV)-catalyzed aldol-type condensation of silyl enol ethers with 2-arylacetaldehydes and cyclization of the adducts is described.
