Abstract

A ZnBr2-mediated arylation of aryl/heteroaryl methyl bromides with arenes at 80°C led to the formation of arylated products, which underwent subsequent 1,5-sigmatropic rearrangement followed by electrocyclization and aromatiza tion with loss of a diethylmalonate unit to afford the corresponding annulated products.
