| Abstract: | An unprecedented copper‐promoted tandem coupling and intramolecular cyclization reaction is disclosed. This strategy offers a simple and promising method for accessing 2,4,6‐trisubstituted naphthalenes. A reaction mechanism involving initial formation of diynes followed by a 6‐exo‐dig cyclization and subsequent rearrangement is proposed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
