Abstract

The classic route to aromatic compounds with specific substitution patterns is the aromatic substitution which introduces or exchanges substituents at an already existing arene. 1 A different mechanism but the same synthetic principle is applied in the different transition- metal-catalyzed (cross-) coupling reactions2 or ortho-metalation and subsequent functionalization reactions. 3 Other approaches assemble the arene, eg use cycloaddition ...
