| Abstract: | An efficient method was developed for the synthesis of highly substituted naphthalenes through rhodium‐catalyzed oxidative benzannulation of N‐pivaloylanilines with internal alkynes. The benzannulation reaction proceeded smoothly through dual C?H bond activation to produce the corresponding highly substituted naphthalene products in satisfactory to good yields. |
