routes have been developed to construct its skeleton. However, synthesis of unsymmetric phenanthrenes remains a challenge. Here, an efficient one-pot tandem reaction for the preparation of phenanthrenes via sequential γ-C(sp2)–H arylation, cationic cyclization, dehydration, and 1,2-migration was developed. A wide range of symmetric and unsymmetric phenanthrenes with diversified functional groups were synthesized

iridium‐catalyzed intermolecular cyclization between alkynes and ring‐fused benzocyclobutenols (RBCB) through C−C bond cleavage is described. A variety of elusive polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with multiple substituents are obtained in good yields under mild conditions. This procedure provides a unique and expeditious tool for the synthesis of PAHs.

Facile dealkoxylation of aryl alkyl ethers has been carried out using TiCl3âLiâTHF (tetrahydrofuran); a novel one-pot synthesis of phenanthrenes from ortho-alkoxyaromatic aldehydes/ketones is described.

9,10-Dimethylphenanthrene and 9-methyl-10-ethylphenanthrene gave 9-methyl-10-nitromethylphenanthrene and 9-ethyl-10-nitromethylphenanthrene, respectively, as major product, when treated with fuming nitric acid in dichloromethane at low temperatures. In contrast, 9,10-diethylphenanthrene yielded a comparable mixture of products arising from side-chain nitration and side-chain nitrooxylation, which on chromatography over deactivated alumina gave 9-ethyl-10-(α-nitroethyl)phenanthrene and 9-ethyl-10-(α-hydroxyethyl)phenanthrene as main isolable products. 9-Methylphenanthrene and 9-ethylphenanthrene were both simply nitrated at the ring position to give the corresponding 9-alkyl-10-nitrophenanthrenes in good yields. No side-chain attack was observed. Factors responsible for determining which one of the competitive pathways will be followed have been discussed.

External addition of inorganic salts (Group I and II metal halides) to the preformed low-valenttitanium reagent A (TiCl3–Li–THF) dramatically enhanced its activity. The new reagents were used to carry out various SET reactions including McMurry's olefination at a faster rate even at ambient temperature.
