A carcinogen with a bridged bay region: synthesis, X-ray structure, and biological activity of 15,16-dihydro-1,11-methanocyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-one
Abstract
15,16-Dihydro-1,11-methanocyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-one has been synthesised and its X-ray structure determined; although it has a bridged bay region, it is a carcinogen.
