Treatment of o-iodobiphenyls with o-bromobenzyl alcohols in the presence of cesium carbonate under palladium catalysis affords a series of highly substituted triphenylenes. The reaction involves two C-C bond formations and C-C and C-H bond cleavages. A combination of palladium and an electron-deficient phosphine ligand proves to be effective for both decarbonylative cross-coupling and intramolecular cyclization.
Halogen-metal exchange in 1,2-dibromobenzene and the possible intermediacy of 1,2-dilithiobenzene

(Chemical Equation Presented) The one-step high-yield synthesis of 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)-benzene from 1,2-dibromobenzene using tert-butyllithium and trimethylsilyltriflate is reported. A mechanistic investigation shows that 1,2-dilithiobenzene is not an intermediate in this reaction; the coexistence of trimethylsilyltriflate and tert-butyllithium at very low temperatures allows a sequence of bromine-lithium exchange and subsequent derivatization reactions to operate.
