Resum
Direct oxidative Kita-type coupling between naphthalene and substituted benzenes was found to proceed via four-component coupling, leading to a linear tetraarene with a binaphthalene core. The methodology was extendable to the coupling of unfunctionalized 1,1′-binaphthalene with mesitylene to give a linear hexaarene product in a remarkably chemoselective manner in 87% yield. The method represents an attractive alternative to the traditional syntheses of related oligonaphthalene products via a sequence of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling steps. © 2010 American Chemical Society.
