A novel base-catalyzed cascade reaction induced by Knoevenegal condensation that can regioselectively generate cyanoflavanones and heavily fused polycycles with intensive fluorescence and high quantum yields is reported. The reaction is solvent-dependent, low-polarity solvents promote the formation of polycycles while high-polarity solvents favor the conversion to cyanoflavanones. A possible mechanism for such serial transformations is proposed.
