A two-step synthesis sequence furnishes quadruply annulated borepins in high yields. The first step involves a nucleophilic substitution reaction between aryl-BF3K salts (aryl = mesityl, phenyl) and lithiated bromonapthalene derivatives LiNaphBr,R (HNaphBr,R = 8-bromonaphthalene (a), 5-bromoacenaphthene (b), 5-bromoacenaphthylene (c)). In the second step, the resulting heteroleptic triarylboranes aryl-B(NaphBr,R)2 (3a-c) are subjected to an intramolecular Ni-mediated Yamamoto reaction to close the seven-membered rings and create the borepins 4a-c. Only in the case of 3b is the Yamamoto reaction accompanied by a C-H activation reaction furnishing the 7-hydro-7-borabenzo[de]anthracene derivative 5. The product ratio 4b/5 can be influenced by control of the local Ni(0) concentration. The borepins 4a-c are benchtop stable and highly soluble even in hexane. Compounds 4a-c undergo reversible one-electron reduction; 4c is also able to accept a second electron in a reversible manner and already at moderate potential values (E1/2 = ?1.49 V and ?1.84 V (vs FcH/FcH+)). 4a, 4b, and 5 show photoluminescence in the blue-green region of the spectrum, while 4c is nonfluorescent, which is likely attributable to an intramolecular charge-transfer transition.

A simple and versatile route to 1,2-disubstituted acenaphthylenes has been developed. The method involves palladium-catalyzed annulation of 1,8-dibromonaphthalene or 5,6-dibromoacenaphthylene with an internal alkyne, and does not require any organometallic reagent. A range of 1,2-disubstituted acenaphthylenes and 5,6-disubstituted 1,2-dihydrocyclopenta[f,g]acenaphthylenes were prepared in moderate to good yields. The method provides a rapid and simple route to dibenzo[j,l]fluoranthene through an Ullmann coupling. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.
