Abstract

Irradiation of 3-methoxy-3-aryl-3H-1-oxacyclopenta[ l ]phenanthren-2-one derivatives  5a–d  resulted in singlet-mediated decarbonylation reaction leading to the formation of phenanthrene derivatives  9a–d . The structure of the photoproduct was unequivocally established on the basis of X-ray crystallographic analysis.
