Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Efficient assembly of diverse lignan‐like molecules</bold> has been achieved by a combined transition‐metal‐catalyzed and photopromoted process from 1, 7‐diaryl‐1, 6‐diynes and carboxylic acids. 2, 3‐Fused 4‐phenylnaphthalen‐1‐yl carboxylates are obtained in a step‐ and atom‐economical manner using a ruthenium‐catalyzed hydrocarboxylative cyclization and subsequent oxidative photocyclization. The diversification of the arylnaphthalene product is also possible using late‐stage CH functionalizations. For more details, see the Full Paper by Y.
