A palladium‐catalyzed heptagon‐forming annulation reaction between 1‐halo‐8‐arylnaphthalene and diarylacetylene is reported. The reaction is promoted using a catalytic system comprised of Pd(OAc) 2 , moderately electron‐deficient triarylphosphine P(4‐ClC 6 H 4 ) 3 , and Ag 2 CO 3 to afford benzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1,2,3‐ de ]naphthalene derivatives in moderate to good yields, in preference to fluoranthene as a competing byproduct. Twofold annulation can also be achieved to access a novel heptagon‐embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound.
