Abstract

This chapter initially outlines the literature methods for the synthesis of naphthalene and biaryl ring systems, then describes our synthetic efforts towards the synthesis of biaryl and naphthalene derivatives. The reactions of a range of β-keto ester substituted stilbenes with phenylselenenyl chloride and several Lewis acids are described, obtaining biaryls in good to excellent yields.
