Aldimine-directed branched-selective hydroarylation of styrenes

Branching out: A simple and inexpensive cobalt/triarylphosphine catalyst promotes aldimine-directed hydroarylation of styrene with high branched regioselectivity to afford 1,1-diarylethane derivatives in good yields under mild reaction conditions. The ortho-formyl group in the hydroarylation products is amenable to dehydrative cyclization, to give fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as decarbonylative removal. Copyright

SYNTHESIS OF 3-METHYLCHOLANTHRENE

A novel synthesis of 3-methylcholanthrene is described which is operationally simpler than the method in current use and is potentially applicable to the synthesis of a wide range of other polycyclic hydrocarbons and their oxidized carcinogenic metabolites.
