Abstract: | UV irradiation of phenanthrene and 1,1-dichloro-, 1,2-dichloro-, and 1,1,2-trichloroethenes resulted m [2+2]cycloaddition to give cyclobutane derivatives. Treatment of the 1,2-dichloro-adducts with N-bromosuccinimide resulted in aromatisation to yield cis- and tras-l,2-dichloro-1,2- dihydrocyclobuta[l)phenanthrene, whereas the 1,1-dichloro-adduct resulted in aromatisation and hydrolysis to give cyclobuta[l]phenanthrene-l(2H)-one. The trichloroethene adducts gave 1,2-dichloro-2a,10b-dihydrocyclobuta [l)phenanthrene upon treatment with base, and reaction with N- bromosuccinimide resulted in bromine substitution in the cyclobutane ring. The stereochemistry of the adducts and the stereoselectivity of the bromination reactions are discussed. |
