Abstract
A one-pot synthesis of 1,4-diarylnaphthalenes from cinnamaldehydes, dimethyl benzylphosphonates, and benzenediazonium-2-carboxylate is described. The tandem process involves the Wittig-Horner reaction of the cinnamaldehyde with the benzylphosphonate, [4+2] cycloaddition of the thus-formed diene with benzyne, and subsequent dehydrogenation. The procedure is general and efficient and the substrates are readily available.
Key words
diphenylnaphthalene - tandem reaction - Wittig-Horner reaction - cycloaddition - benzyne
