title: Selenium-Mediated Synthesis of Tetrasubstituted Naphthalenes through Rearrangement.
abstract: New β-keto ester substituted stilbene derivatives have been synthesized and cyclized with selenium electrophiles in the presence of Lewis acids. This now allows access to 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted naphthalene derivatives as cyclization and rearrangement products.
