9,10-Dihydrophenanthrenes and phenanthrenes, mimics of natural compounds with strong antialgal activity, have been synthesized through cross-coupling of 1-(2-iodo-5-methoxy)-phenylethanol with variously substituted iodobenzenes. The synthetic compounds, bearing a hydroxyl or a methoxyl group at C-2 and a methyl in the C ring, were tested against the green alga Selenastrum capricornutum. All compounds, except 2-methoxy-7-methylphenanthrene, caused inhibition of algal growth by more than 70% at 10(-4) M, and many of them retained this strong activity at 10(-5) M.

N‐oxides has been developed through electrochemicalC−Hfunctionalization of biarylketoximes. The oxime substrates undergo dehydrogenative cyclization when a Pt cathode is used, resulting in unprecedented access to a wide range of N‐heteroaromatic N‐oxides. The products of the electrosynthesis are switched to the deoxygenated N‐heteroaromatics by employing a Pb cathode through sequential anode‐promoted
