Efficient assembly of diverse lignan‐like molecules has been achieved by a combined transition‐metal‐catalyzed and photopromoted process from 1,7‐diaryl‐1,6‐diynes and carboxylic acids. 2,3‐Fused 4‐phenylnaphthalen‐1‐yl carboxylates are obtained in a step‐ and atom‐economical manner using a ruthenium‐catalyzed hydrocarboxylative cyclization and subsequent oxidative photocyclization. The diversification of the arylnaphthalene product is also possible using late‐stage CH functionalizations. For more details, see the Full Paper by Y. Yamamoto et al. on page 9093.
