Selective synthesis of benzo[f]tetraphenes or benzo[g]chrysenes was achieved via aromatic C-F bond cleavage and unprecedented regioselective C-C bond formation depending upon the choice of aluminium reagents. On treatment with AlCl 3 , 2-(biphenyl-2-yl)-1-fluoronaphthalenes afforded exclusively benzo[f]tetraphenes via C-C bond formation on the carbon atom γ to the original position of the fluorine substituent. In contrast, α-selective C-C bond formation was promoted by treatment with γ-Al 2 O 3 o give benzo[g]chrysenes.
