Hydrous pyrolysis of methylphenanthrenes - Degradation and isomerization

A simulation of the chemical transformations of methylphenanthrenes in sediment was performed using hydrous pyrolysis technique. The results indicate that isomerization is not the primary cause of the change in the MPI1 index. Rather, the degradation reaction of methylphenanthrenes to phenanthrene is one of the most likely causes reversing the trend of the MPI1 index with increasing the heating temperature. An unusual isomerization between 2-methylphenanthrene and 9-methylphenanthrene was also observed during the course of heating experiments. A plausible mechanism involving [1,5]-methyl shift was proposed for this isomerization reaction.

Monomethylphenanthrenes(MPs) were isomerized by heating in the presence of Na-montmorillonite to give a mixture of four isomers (1-, 2-, 3-, and 9-MP).The ratio of 1- and 2-MP produced from each isomer reached a constant value after appropriate time of heating.The ratio provides a new parameter for maturity assessment of sedimentary organic materials.

The ability to induce powerful atom-economic transformation of alkynes is the key feature of carbophilic π-Lewis acids such as gold- and platinum-based catalysts. The unique catalytic activity of these compounds in electrophilic activations of alkynes is explained through relativistic effects, enabling efficient orbital overlapping with π-systems. For this reason, it is believed that noble metals are indispensable components in the catalysis of such reactions. In this study, we report that thermally activated γ-Al2O3activates enynes, diynes, and arene-ynes in a manner enabling reactions that were typically assigned to the softest π-Lewis acids, while some were known to be triggered exclusively by gold catalysts. We demonstrate the scope of these transformations and suggest a qualitative explanation of this phenomenon based on the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model confirmed by density functional theory calculations.
Construction of Phenanthrenes and Chrysenes from β-Bromovinylarenes via Aryne Diels-Alder Reaction/Aromatization

A highly efficient transition-metal-free general method for the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons like phenanthrenes and chrysenes (and tetraphene) from β-bromovinylarenes and arynes has been developed. The reactions proceed via an aryne Diels-Alder (ADA) reaction, followed by a facile aromatization. This is the first report on direct construction of chrysenes (and tetraphene) using the ADA approach. Unlike the literature method which is limited to only 9/10-substituted derivatives, this method gives access to a wide variety of functionalized phenanthrenes.
Further insight into the photochemical behavior of 3-aryl-N-(arylsulfonyl)propiolamides: tunable synthetic route to phenanthrenes

Reported herein is further insight into the photochemical behaviour of 3-aryl-N-(arylsulfonyl)-propiolamides, which provides a straightforward way to access meaningful phenanthrenes. Mechanistic investigation indicated that aryl migration, C-C coupling, 1,3-hydrogen shift, desulfonylation and elimination were involved in the process. Moreover, this protocol allowed for scale-up using a flow reactor.
