Abstract

Abstract In the presence of BiCl 3, the hydroarylation of styrenes with electron-rich arenes afforded Markovnikov adducts selectively in good to high yields. Under arene-free conditions, the intermolecular hydroarylation of α-substituted styrenes and subsequent intramolecular hydroarylation produced the cyclic dimers of α-substituted styrenes in good yields.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
