The photocyclization reactions of several ortho-halogenated stilbene derivatives were examined under both oxidative conditions (iodine/cyclohexane) and basic conditions (sodium methoxide/methanol).The major products were those anticipated from photodehydrogenation and photodehydrohalogenation, respectively.In some cases photodebromination of the product occurred.Some regiochemical control in phenanthrene synthesis can be achieved as is illustrated by a synthesis of dehydroorchinol acetate.
