Palladium/Norbornenes-Catalyzed C−H Bond Activation and Annulation to Construct Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons-based Fluorescent Materials

Reported herein is the first example of NBE-CO2Me-mediated palladium-catalyzed C−H bond activation and annulation of bromo(hetero)aromatics to construct structurally diverse polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)-based fluorescent materials. The approach shows a...
