Zusammenfassung
Allylazeton reagiert unter den Bedingungen einer milden Friedel-Craftschen Reaktion mit Naphthalin, wobei der Naphthylrest vorzugsweise an die wasserstoffärmere Seite der Allyl-Doppelbindung tritt. Analog reagiert Allyl-cyclohexanon mit Benzol. Die Produkte (I) bzw. (II) lassen sich durch Zyklisation und Dehydrierung in 1,4-Dimethyl-phenanthren (IV) bzw. in 9-Methyl-phenanthren (VIII) überführen.

N. K. Bhattacharyya andS. M. Mukherji, Science and Culture16 (8), 374 (1951). Since the publication of this paper we noted a similar synthesis of 1,4-dimethyl-naphthalene byCologne andPichat (Bull. Soc. Chim. France. 855 [1949]). This duplication could have easily been avoided by us had it been possible to have earlier access to their publication.
