A practical and robust process for the Darzens condensation of substituted benzaldehydes and subsequent α,β-epoxy rearrangement is reported. The process developed is both amenable to large scale and parallel synthesis. While electron-poor benzaldehydes gave mixtures of aryl ketones and 2-substituted aryl ketones in mediocre to low yields, electron-rich benzaldehydes were found to react in high yields with complete regioselectivity to form 2-substituted aryl ketones.

Functionalized hydrophenanthrenes can be prepared using a cyclialkylation-based strategy. These annulations are highly dependent on the directing effects of the arene substitutents and on conformational considerations. The utility of this methodology was featured in the syntheses of six diterpenoids.
