Abstract
The intramolecular palladium-catalyzed reaction of aryl bromides and triflates with arenes has been used for the preparation of polyarenes. The synthesis of benz[e]acephenantrylenes, corannulenes, and C60H30, a ‘crushed fullerene’, by using this methodology are presented. Mechanistic studies on the arylation step point to an electrophilic substitution reaction pathway.

35The analogous reaction of (E,E)-1,4-diphenylbutadiene with acenaphtylene(28) in 1,2-dichlorobenzene at 180 °C afforded a 2:1 mixture of endo and exo cycloadducts in 40% yield. The assignment of the configuration of the major compound as the endo isomer was tentatively based on the 1H NMR data.
