The new dienediynes 5, 6, and 7 were synthesised from a monoprotected diyne and an already described bis(enol triflate) 4 derived from formylcyclopentanone. When 5 and 6 were subjected to nucleophilic attack by a thiol, cycloaromatisation occurred, and the phenanthrenes 23a and 23b were obtained in 30 and 42% yield, respectively.

Acid-catalyzed rearrangement of cyclobutanones. VI. Syntheses of chrysenes and steroid-like substances

Cyclobutanones derived from 1-naphthylketenes and 1,3-cycloalkadienes were prepared.These undergo acid rearrangements under a variety of conditions to give tetracyclic ketones.The tetracyclic ketones were converted to chrysene and substituted cyclopentenophenanthrenes.A mechanistic scheme is proposed for the rearrangement process.
