Room Temperature Decarboxylative and Oxidative [2+2+2] Annulation of Benzoic Acids with Alkynes Catalyzed by an Electron‐Deficient Rhodium(III) Complex
It has been established that an electron‐deficient (η5‐cyclopentadienyl)rhodium(III) [CpERhIII] complex is capable of catalyzing the decarboxylative and oxidative [2+2+2] annulation of benzoic acids with alkynes to produce substituted naphthalenes at room temperature. The appropriate choice of the additive and the solvent is crucial for this transformation. This catalyst system allowed use of oxygen
The rhodium-catalyzed oxidative 1:2 coupling reactions of arylboronic acids or their esters with alkynes smoothly proceed to produce the corresponding annulated products. Of special note, highly substituted, readily soluble, and tractable anthracene and tetracene derivatives can be obtained selectively from 2-naphthyl- and 2-anthrylboron reagents, respectively.

The decarboxylativecoupling of diversely substituted benzoic acids with internal alkynes proceeds smoothly in the presence of a [RhCl(cod)]2/1,2,3,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene catalyst system to selectively produce highly substituted naphthalene derivatives. The catalyst system is applicable to constructing anthracene and benzo[c]thiophene frameworks through reactions of naphthoic and thiophene-2-carboxylic

been developed for the synthesis of larger condensed arenes from aromatic hydrocarbons and internal alkynes. This protocol uses readily available [CpRhI2]n as a catalyst and Cu(OAc)2 as an oxidant and proceeds smoothly through undirected double C–H activation. The addition of trifluoroaceticacid has a crucial positive impact on the reaction selectivity and the yields of the target products. In contrast
