Abstract

Domino twofold Heck/6π-electrocyclization reactions of 1,2-dihaloalkenes allow for a convenient synthesis of benzene derivatives. In recent years, this strategy has been applied to various 1,2-dihalogenated carbocyclic alkenes and heterocycles, and a variety of benzo-fused ring systems have been prepared. The electro­cyclization reactions proceed well for five-membered, but not for six-membered heterocycles.
