Intramolecular double or triple Suzuki coupling reaction of substituted di- or tribromobenzenes. An easy synthesis of fused tri- or tetracycles with a benzene core

Double or triple intramolecular Suzuki coupling reaction has been developed for the efficient synthesis of tri- or tetracyclic products with a benzene core in good yields. The reaction was realized via a one-pot procedure combining the hydroboration of the Cdouble bond; length as m-dashC bond in the starting aryl halides and the intramolecular Suzuki coupling.
