Abstract

Abstract An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of cyano, sulfonyl and phosphoryl substituted naphthalene derivatives via the rearrangement aromatization of benzo [c] oxepine has been developed. The system holds the advantages of metal catalysts free, and mild reaction conditions.
