Discovery of Deep-Seated Skeletal Rearrangements in the Photocyclizations of Some tert -Butyl-Substituted 1,2-Diarylethylenes
The in-solution oxidative photocyclization of stilbenes to phenanthrenes is a well-known and synthetically valuable reaction. We report here our discovery that the oxidative photocyclization of several tert-butyl-substituted 1-styrylphenanthrenes resulted
