Abstract

Abstract: An efficient synthesis of 6H-dibenzo [c, k] chromenes has been achieved from 2- bromobenzyl-ot-naphthyl ethers via a Pct-catalyzed intramolecular direct-arylation using easily available Pdtl'PhJ) 4 or Pd (0Ac) zlPPh3 at elevated temperature. The reaction affords biaryl-coupling products in good to excellent yields in 6-9 h (up to 94% yields). A tentative mechanism has been proposed to understand the reaction pathway. Applying the ...
