Facile insertion reaction of arynes into carbon-carbon sigma-bonds.
The carbon-carbon sigma-bond of various beta-dicarbonyl compounds was found to add to the triple bond of arynes under extremely mild conditions, leading to direct introduction of different carbon functional groups into the aromatic skeletons.
