An efficient synthesis of substituted chrysenes

Substituted chrysenes have been swiftly synthesised by the 6-endo-dig cyclisation of ethynylnaphthalenes using platinum(II) chloride. Cyclisation precursors were directly prepared from commercially available 2-bromoaldehydes in a telescoped synthetic procedure involving a Cannizzaro triggered cascad...
