Abstract

Abstract A ZnBr 2-mediated arylation of aryl/heteroaryl methyl bromides with arenes at 80 C led to the formation of arylated products, which underwent subsequent 1, 5-sigmatropic rearrangement followed by electrocyclization and aromatization with loss of a diethylmalonate unit to afford the corresponding annulated products.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
