Abstract
[reaction: see text] Treatment of propargylic diols 5-7 with thionyl chloride promoted a cascade sequence of reactions leading to dichlorides 10-12 and, after reduction with tributyltin hydride, the diindeno-fused 4H-cyclopenta[def]phenanthrenes 13-15 in a single operation. Hydrolysis of 13 and 14 furnished 4H-cyclopenta[def]phenanthren-4-ones 16 and 17, respectively. Air oxidation of an alkaline solution of dichloride 11 produced diketone 18.
