A one-pot synthesis of 1,4-diarylnaphthalenes from cinnamaldehydes, dimethyl benzylphosphonates, and benzenediazonium-2-carboxylate is described. The tandem process involves the Wittig-Hornerreaction of the cinnamaldehyde with the benzylphosphonate, [4+2] cycloaddition of the thus-formed diene with benzyne, and subsequent dehydrogenation. The procedure is general and efficient and the substrates are
