Efficient activation of aromatic C-H bonds for fused polyaromatic hydrocarbon construction.
An extraordinary domino method for the construction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been established. Various 4,9-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene derivatives are constructed by the palladium(0)-catalyzed reaction of diynes with aryl halides through C-C coupling and C-H bond activation of the incorporated aryl group, which provides an effective pi-system synthesis.
