This work describes our exploratory investigations into the synthesis of phenathrene-based systems, such as 1,  to be used as nonnitrogenous precursors for the generation of formyl- and vinylcarbenes (2 ). The effectiveness of such precursors at producing such carbenes and the reactions these intermediates undergo will be discussed from experimental and computational perspectives.
