Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed pericyclic reactions have been developed for the synthesis of phenanthrenes. This method is also useful for the synthesis of monoalkyl and dialkyl phenanthrene derivatives.

Key words

pericyclic reaction - Pd catalyst - polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - alkyl phenanthrene
