Cascade reaction for the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons via transient directing group strategy

A Pd(II)-catalyzed cascade synthesis of diverse polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons via transient directing group strategy has been developed, involving the consecutive arylation, cyclization and aromatization. The efficiency and practicality were demonstrated by wide substrate range, concise synthetic pathway and mild reaction conditions. The subsequent transformations of the benz[a]anthracene core accessed natural bioactive PAH molecules.

Indium-catalyzed construction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon skeletons via dehydration

Polycyclic aromatic compounds can be synthesized from 2-benzylic- or 2-allylbenzaldehydes using a catalytic amount of In(III) or Re(I) complexes. By using this method, polycyclic aza-aromatic compounds can also be prepared efficiently. In these reactions, only water is formed as a side product.
