Synthesis of a 1,2,3,6b,7,8,12b,12c-octahydrobenzo[j]fluoranthene
Abstract
One of the four isomeric 1.2,3.6b,7,8,12b,12c-octahydrobenzo[j]fluoranthenes and benzo[j]fluoranthene have been synthesised from 2a,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-phenylacenaphthen-1-one by way of 2a,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-phenyl-acenaphthene-1-acetic acid.
