We synthesized 3,3′-bridged-2,2′-bibenzo[g]quinolines by double Friedlander reaction of 3-amino-2-naphthalenecarboxyaldehyde derivatives with cyclic 1,2-diketones. Because of the presence of the ri...
Barton-decarboxylative iodination to afford alkyl iodide as the actual coupling partners. The present method showcases a broad substrate scope for both alkyl acids and aryl/vinyl electrophiles. It offers the advantage of iodo-selectivity for the alkylation of aryl iodides, even those bearing highly competing bromine groups, including the challenging vicinal bromoiodobenzene. Consequently, it enables the development
