Functionalized fused hetero-polyaromatic compounds are of great interest in materials science and chemical biology. Recently the group of Professor
Professor Kim said:
“Intramolecular alkyne carbonyl metathesis was successfully utilized for the regiospecific synthesis of benzofuran-embedded polyaromatic heterocycles with an acyl moiety at the specific position.”
