Abstract
Phenanthro[4,5-bcd]furan was synthesized from 1,2,3,8,9,9a-hexahydrophenanthro[4,5-bcd]furan-3-ol by dehydrogenation with palladium-charcoal. Some chemical reactivities and spectral properties of phenan thro [4,5-bcd]furan were investigated and compared with those of phenantherene and dibenzofuran. The results suggest that phenanthro[4,5-bcd]furan has the chemical properties of both phenanthrene and dibenzofuran, and does not have a large strain in the fused-ring system. Also, the reactivities of 1,2,3,8,9,9a-hexahydrophenanthro[4,5-bcd]furan-3-one were explored.
