Reaction Steps

3-Methoxy-9-methyl-1,4-phenanthrenequinone (1.17 g, 4.63 mM) was dissolved in 40 ml of methanol solution containing 5% NaOH, and the resulting solution was vigorously stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction solution was neutralized by 1N HCl and was then concentrated by distillation under reduced pressure. The resulting purified by chromatography to give 0.34 g (1.42 mM) of 3-Hydroxy-9-methyl-1,4-phenanthrenequinone.
