Phenanthroquinone was added photochemically to allene and nine of its methyl, methoxy and methylthio derivatives. Several 2-alkylidene-2,3-dihydrophenanthro[9,10-b]-1,4-dioxins were isolated; 2 : I-adducts were sometimes found as byproducts. The directiospecificity of the addition was investigated. The stereochemistry and conformation of the adducts are discussed in relation to long-range N M R coupling constants. Tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone was added similarly to methoxyallene. This addition could also be performed thermally.
Durch Photoreaktion von Phenanthrenchinon (I) mit Methoxyallen (IIa) in Benzol wird das Phenanthrodioxin (IIIa) gebildet; bei einem Überschuß von (I) entsteht daneben das 2:1‐Addukt (VII).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
