Abstract

Biphenyl-2-ylethylenes react with (4-BrC6H4) 3N˙+ SbCl6–to give the radical cation of the electrocyclization product which initiates a protic catalysis to the related fluorenes or, in presence of 2, 6-di-t-butylpyridine or water, lead stoicheiometrically to phenanthrenes; with photochemical oxidants only phenanthrenes or 9, 10-dihydrophenanthrenes are obtained, with an efficiency related to the polarity of the solvent and the relative energies of the ...
