Synthesis of Helical Quinone Derivatives by Oxidative Coupling of Substituted 2-Hydroxybenzo[c]phenanthrenes

A concise synthesis of novel substituted quinone derivatives from commercially available starting materials was developed. For this synthesis, classical photo-induced 6π-electrocyclization was utilized, followed by oxidative aromatization reaction, and su

Continuous flow photocyclization of stilbenes-scalable synthesis of functionalized phenanthrenes and helicenes

A continuous flow oxidative photocyclization of stilbene derivatives has been developed which allows the scalable synthesis of backbone functionalized phenanthrenes and helicenes of various sizes in good yields.

Synthesis of derivatives of phenanthrene and helicene by improved procedures of photocyclization of stilbenes

An improved method has been developed for photocyclization of stilbene to construct phenanthrenes and benzo[c]phenanthrenes. This reaction is promoted by iodine while tetrahydrofuran is used as an efficient and inexpensive scavenger of hydroiodic acid produced during the photocyclization sequence. In another process, cyclohexene is used as a reagent for dehydrogenation step in place of THFI2.
