was extracted out. The combined acidic extracts were neutralized with 10 N NaOH, extracted into ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. Evaporation of solvents under reduced pressure gave l-(3-methoxy-2-aminophenyl)pyrene as a brown oil (0.66 g, 68% yield). The amino compound was cyclized as described above for 26. Flash chromatography on silica gel (10% benzene-hexane) yielded 28 as a yellow residue. Crystallization from hexane afforded pure 28 as yellow needles: 30 mg (5%); mp 209-211 °C; mass spectrum, m/e (relative intensity) 306 (100, M+), 263 (67).7-Hydroxyindeno[ l^.S-cd Jpyrene (21). Treatment of 28 (30 mg, 98 /nmol) as described above for 22 yielded 21 as yellow needles: 20 mg (69%); mp 226-228 °C dec; mass spectrum, mje (relative intensity) 292 (100, M+), 263 (45); UV (EtOH) XmM (t)
