• %). This cascade involves an initial Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between 1,8-dihalonaphthalenes and heteroarylboronic acids or esters, followed by an intramolecular C–H arylation under the same conditions to yield the final heterocyclic fluoranthene analogues. The method was further employed to

• )-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with 1,8-dialkynylnaphthalenes to access azafluoranthenes and 2-pyridone-fused naphthalenes [27]. In 2017, we reported a Pd-catalyzed cascade reaction that involves a sequential Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling and a subsequent intramolecular C–H arylation between

• boronic esters of 1,8-DHN have recently been investigated and reported by Krempner and co-workers [51]. To our delight, the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling/intramolecular C–H arylation sequence between 12 and boronic ester 17d proceeded smoothly affording product 15a in 84% yield. The results summarized in Table

• fused structure toward a phenanthroline diamide (Phen-2,9-diamide) [23] can be achieved by employing a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C–H arylation [24][25][26][27][28]. One of the thus obtained products exhibited a remarkable extraction performance for a lanthanide ion, in which a metal-specific

As our reaction conditions are effective in promoting the Pd-catalyzed intermolecular reaction followed by direct intramolecular C–H arylation, we have also applied them to the synthesis of 9-arylphenanthrenes by reaction of ethene-1,1-diyldibenzene

• -bromo-4-iodotoluene with 1,1-diphenylethylene yields the desired 9-arylphenanthrene 28 via a Heck reaction followed by intramolecular C–H arylation (Scheme 6).
