A method is described for the isolation of pure phenanthro[4,5‐bcd] thiophene ( 4 ) from a sulfur‐bridging reaction mixture, also containing phenanthrene ( 3 ) and elemental sulfur, by selective oxidation of 4 to the sulfoxide ( 5 ) by means of iodobenzene dichloride, chromato‐graphic separation of 5 on silica gel, and finally reduction of 5 back to 4 by means of sodium bis(methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride in 25% overall yield from 3.
