While 8-aryl-1-napthols are promising dye molecules and useful intermediates in the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, they can be difficult to access. A new, ruthenium-catalyzed method for <i>peri</i>-C-H arylation of 1-naphthol with a variety of aryl and heteroaryl halides (iodides, bromides) is reported that overcomes the limitations of previous palladium-catalyzed approaches. Yields for the 21 examples range from 16 to 99%, with an average of 71%, and the reaction tolerates a var ...[more]
