A systematic study on the regioselective cyclization of benzene- and naphthalene-based unsymmetrical diols with HBr (33 %) in acetic acid at room temperature led to the formation of annulation products. By using this method, synthesis of a wide variety of anthracene, tetracene and naphtho[b]thiopheneanalogues was achieved in good to excellent yields. By employing HBr (33 %) in acetic acid as a catalyst
