Abstract
Linear and angular heteroacenes are prepared from terminal alkynes bearing tethered nucleophiles in two steps. Linear heteroacenes are formed from the homocoupling of these alkynes followed by reaction with a double electrophile (ECl2) to induce a tricyclization reaction cascade involving double-electrophilic cyclization (DEC). Related angular heteroacenes are formed from the prior substitution of the chloro groups in ECl2 with the same terminal alkyne followed by reaction with AuCl3 to produce a DEC-reductive-elimination (DECRE) reaction.
