Abstract
4-Bromo-3-formyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes undergo Suzuki cross coupling and Wittig olefination reaction in a one pot procedure. The trienes obtained can be cyclised thermally under concomitant dehydrogenation to dihydrophenanthrothiophenes and dihydrophenanthro[1]benzothiophenes. An X-ray crystal structural analysis was carried out for ethyl (E)-3-[1-(1-benzothiophen-3-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2-naphthyl]propenoate.
