Chemistry of dihydroresorcinol

Communication 6. A new method for the synthesis of phenanthrene derivatives from dihydroresorcemol

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Summary

Hydrolysis of 2-(β -cyclohexylideneethyl)dihydroresorcinol (II) gives an unsaturated keto acid (VIII) which is converted by a double cyclization under the influence of polyphosphoric acid to 1-keto-Δ9,11,13 -octahydrophenanthrene (XV). This series of reactions can be useful for the synthesis of polycyclic compounds related to steroids.
