A convenient tandem one-pot synthesis of donor-acceptor-type triphenylene 2,3-dicarboxylic esters from diarylacetylene

Org Biomol Chem. 2014 Sep 28;12(36):6977-81. doi: 10.1039/c4ob01503g.

Abstract

A tandem one-pot method for the direct synthesis of polysubstituted triphenylene 2,3-dicarboxylic esters with different substitution patterns was developed by enyne metathesis of diarylacetylene, followed by Diels-Alder, aromatization and a cyclization cascade.
