Just add a proton : The cyclocondensation of 1‐aryl ethynylanthraquinones in the presence of a strong organic acid proceeds almost quantitatively to give oxodihydrodibenzochromenylium compounds (see scheme for a 1‐ferrocenyl derivative; blue C, red O, purple Fe). Expansion of the π‐conjugated system of the starting anthraquinones causes a lowering of the π* orbital and promotes intramolecular electron transfer.
