Abstract
Treatment of o-iodobiphenyls with o-bromobenzyl alcohols in the presence of cesium carbonate under palladium catalysis affords a series of highly substituted triphenylenes. The reaction involves two C-C bond formations and C-C and C-H bond cleavages. A combination of palladium and an electron-deficient phosphine ligand proves to be effective for both decarbonylative cross-coupling and intramolecular cyclization.
