Abstract
The construction of a seven-membered ring in the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon skeleton remains a notoriously difficult but attractive challenge. Herein a novel palladium-catalyzed [4 + 3] decarboxylative annulation of 2-iodobiphenyls with 2-(2-halophenyl)acrylic acids is reported, which provides an efficient approach for assembling various tribenzo[7]annulenes via a C-H activation and decarboxylation process. Moreover, tribenzo[7]annulenes can be also synthesized via a [2 + 2 + 3] decarboxylative annulation strategy by employing readily available 1,2-halobenzenes, phenylboronic acids, and 2-(2-halophenyl)acrylic acids.
