Reaction Steps

A mixture of 20 grams of 9-pentyl 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydrophenanthridine, prepared as described in example 3, 108 grams of an alkylated benzene solvent and 4 grams of a 5% Palladium/Al catalyst were refluxed for 19 hours. Hydrogen gas was evolved during the reaction. The solvent was removed under diminished pressure to yield after work-up 18 grams of 9-pentyl phenanthridine; infrared spectrum, 6.41; 6.65; and 6.72 μ; C13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum, solvent CDCl3, ref. T.M.S.; δ in ppm.: ##STR9##
