Synthetic approaches to a hypervalent trigonal bipyramidal carbon species and a versatile reagent for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones

The synthesis of a novel ortho-bridged triarylmethanol, 6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-12c-hydroxy-4,8-dioxa-4H,8H-dibenzo- (cd,mn) pyren-12(12cH)-one, is described in Part I. The key step involves an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of a triarylmethyl cation. Some reactions of this methanol derivative are presented as part of an attempted synthesis of a hypervalent (10-C-5) trigonal bipyramidal carbon species.
