title: Synthesis of naphtho[1,8-bc]pyran derivatives and related compounds through hydroxy group directed C-H bond cleavage under rhodium catalysis.
abstract: The straightforward and efficient synthesis of naphtho[1,8-bc]pyran derivatives and related polycyclic compounds is achieved by the rhodium-catalyzed oxidative coupling of 1-naphthols or other phenolic and alcoholic substrates with alkynes. In these annulation reactions, the hydroxy groups effectively act as the key function for the regioselective C-H bond cleavage.
