Abstract

Abstract The photochemically initiated dehydro-Diels-Alder (PDDA) reaction is an efficient and versatile method for the preparation of biaryls. The ring closure may take place both inter-and intramolecularly, of which the intramolecular variant is more productive from the preparative point of view. A variety of linkers can be employed to connect the ynone moiety, which acts as the chromophore, with another acetylene group, thus allowing large ...
