Résumé : From the study of a large number of monosubstituted benzo[c]phenanthrene derivatives, the following conclusions can be drawn:. 1. When R OCH3, NHCOCH3 or NH2, the position of substitution can be specified by first order analysis of the NMR spectra. In the case of NH2, such analyses are nevertheless insufficient to make a choice between position 5 and 6. 2. The distorsion of the benzo[c]phenanthrene ring system has practically no effect on the perturbations induced by a substituent located in a non-hindered position. © 1965.
