Abstract

Facile dealkoxylation of aryl alkyl ethers has been carried out using TiCIrLi-THF (tetrahydrofuran); a novel one-pot synthesis of phenanthrenes from ortho-alkoxyaromatic aldehydedketones is described. ... In continuation of our work'-3 on the use of low valent titanium in organic synthesis, we report for the first time an unusual reductive dealkoxylation of aryl alkyl ethers and intramolecular CC coupling of 2,2'-dialkoxystilbenes leading to a one-pot synthesis of ...
