A three-step process to facilitate the annulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
A new efficient three-step process to annulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been developed, providing access to PAHs with saturated rings that under current chemical methods would be difficult to produce in an efficient manner. This method relies on a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of various brominated PAHs with cyclohexanone to yield α-arylated ketones, which are converted to regiospecific vinyl triflates and cyclized by a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular arene-vinyl triflate coupling to produce PAHs with incorporated saturated rings or "tetrahydroindeno-annulated" PAHs.

A new Suzuki-Heck-type coupling cascade: Indeno[1,2,3]-annelation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Under palladium catalysis, o-bromobenzeneboronic acid can be coupled with 1-bromonaphthalene (6) and with oligocyclic bromoarenes to furnish indeno-annelated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 1-4 and 25 in a single operation in moderate to good yields (27-87%). Alternatively, o-dibromoarenes and 1,2-dibromocycloalkenes can be cross-coupled with 1-naphthaleneboronic acid under the same conditions to yield analogous products (6-87%), and indenocorannulene (19) can be prepared likewise in a single step from pinacol corannuleneboronate (18) (40%).
