A highly selective arylation of a number of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with aryliodonium salts and Pd/C as the only reagent is reported. The first C-H functionalization of triphenylene is explored, and proceeds at the most sterically hindered position. This non-chelate assisted C-H functionalization extends the reactivity profile of Pd/C and provides controlled access to π-extended PAHs, an important aspect of work towards the preparation of nanographenes. Mechanistic studies suggest <i>in ...[more]
