摘要

We report here a convenient synthesis of tetrabenzo[de,hi, mn,qr]naphthacenes from 1.2-di(phenanthren-4-yl)ethynes through initial Bronsted acid-catalyzed hydroarylation. followed by FeCl(3)-oxidative coupling reactions. This new method is applicable to tetrabenzo[de,hi,mn,qr]naphthacenes bearing various alkyl substituents.
