Procedure

To a RB flask equipped with magnetic stirring bar, reflux condenser and N2 inlet line with bubbler added 5,6,8,9,10,11-hexahydrobenz[a]anthracene-3-carbaldehyde (7A, 10.41 g, 39.7 mmol), 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) (Aldrich, 27.02 g, 0.119 mol) and dry PhCH3 (500 mL). The mixture was refluxed for 2 h until no more starting material remained by TLC, cooled and filtered to give a deep red solution. The solution was applied to a 40×10 cm column of SiO2 and eluted with additional PhCH3 as the solvent. The appropriate fractions were combined and the solvent removed to give 6.01 g of crude material. This was crystallized twice from PhCH3 /hexane (1:4) and dried to give 2.94 g (28.9% yield) of benz[a]anthracene-3-carbaldehyde, mp 144°-145°, (C, H).
