Annulated arenes and hetarenes were prepared in good to very good yields by hydriodic acid/red phosphorus mediated reductive cyclization of 3-(hetero)aryl phthalides. The reductive cyclization also proceeded successfully with 2-aroylbenzoic acids and 2-aroylnaphthoic acids.

A conventional BF3·OEt2-mediated Bradsher-type cyclodehydration of 2-arylmethyl benzaldehydes in CH2Cl2 at room temperature gave polycyclic aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. Alternatively, these compounds could be synthesized in better yields from 2-arylmethylbenzoic acids by triflic-acid-mediated cyclization followed by reductive dehydration.
