Abstract

The first synthesis of a benz[c]acridine 5,6‐oxide is described. Treatment of 5,6‐benz[c]‐acridinequinone with phenylmagnesium bromide results in the formation of a trans‐diol, which gives the title compound upon dehydration with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal. In sulfuric acid, the epoxide rearranges mainly into 6,6‐diphenyl‐5‐benz[c]acridone.
