摘要

The cascade annulation reactions of benzoylacetonitriles with diazo compounds proceed efficiently in the presence of an iridium catalyst to give substituted naphtho[1,8‐bc]pyrans by sequential cleavage of C(sp2)−H/C(sp3)−H and C(sp2)−H/O−H bonds. Interestingly, the reactions involving cyclic diazo compounds and open‐chain diazo compounds lead to different types of naphtho[1,8‐bc]pyrans. Most products are obtained in moderate to good yields with a broad range of substrates.
