title: Transition-Metal-Free Multicomponent Benzannulation Reactions for the Construction of Polysubstituted Benzene Derivatives.
abstract: A transition-metal-free multicomponent benzannulation reaction was developed from readily available ketones, nitro-olefins, and diester acetylenedicarboxylate. This approach provides a straightforward and efficient way to construct polysubstituted benzene derivatives under mild conditions in high yields.
