Abstract

A cobalt-catalyzed neutral Diels-Alder reaction of dienes derived from aldehydes with terminal and internal alkynes, and DDQ oxidation of the dihydroaromatic intermediates leads to regiochemically enriched biphenyl, terphenyl, and silyl-functionalized benzene derivatives in good to excellent yields.
