摘要
Polymethoxy-substituted phenanthrene-9-carboxylic acids or their methylate are key intermediates for the synthesis of tylophora alkaloids and their analogs. An intramolecular oxidative coupling reaction of unfunctionalized 2,3-disubstituted phenyl acrylic acids and derivatives promoted by di-tert-butylper- oxide gave above intermediates in high yields. The mild reaction conditions and easy purification procedures of this method provide a new approach for the synthesis of phenanthrenes.
