Dienediyne 17 was synthesized from the monoprotected diyne 12 and the earlier described cyclopentanone-based bis(enoltriflate) 11 through Pd(0)/Cu(I) catalyzed coupling reactions (6 steps from o-bromo benzaldehyde). Treatment of 17 with camphor sulphonic acid, EtSH, and 1,4-cyclohexadiene at 37°C furnished 31 % of the cyclopenta[b]phenanthrene 18 through a cycloaromatization.
