Abstract
INVESTIGATIONS into the application of the dienesynthesis to the above problem have been continued in this laboratory since the completion of experiments described in an earlier communication1. The latter was chiefly concerned with the synthesis of 3--phenylethyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride (I), which, however, could not be cyclised to an octahydrophenanthrene derivative related to oxidative degradation products obtained from ” striol monomethyl ether by Doisy and his co-workers2.
