5,6‐Dimethylbenz[ a ]phenazine ( 4 ), an aza analogue of the carcinogenic 5,6‐dimethylbenz‐[ c ]acridine has been obtained by a 1,1‐dehydration‐rearrangement (Wagner‐Meerwin type) from 5,5‐dimethyl‐6‐hydroxy‐5,6‐dihydrobenz[ a ]phenazine ( 3 ). The alcohol 3 was obtained from the hydrogenation of the corresponding ketone 2 which was prepared in two ways: Method A, the oxidation of 5,5‐dimethyl‐5,6‐dihydrobenz[ a ]phenazine ( 1 ); Method B, the hydrolysis of the 6,6‐dibromo derivative 5 of 1.
