title: Synthesis of acridines by the [4 + 2] annulation of arynes and 2-aminoaryl ketones.
abstract: The reaction of 2-aminoaryl ketones and arynes generated by the treatment of various o-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates with CsF results in [4 + 2] annulation to afford substituted acridines in good yields.
