Benzo‐fused heterocyclic and carbocyclic systems have been synthesized by intramolecular S N Ar and tandem S N 2‐S N Ar reactions. Treatment of 3‐(2‐fluoro‐5‐nitrophenyl)‐1‐propanol with sodium hydride in N,N ‐dimethylformamide gave 6‐nitrochroman in 80% yield by an intramolecular S N Ar reaction. Treatment of 2‐(3‐bromopropyl)‐1‐fluoro‐4‐nitrobenzene with benzylamine in N,N ‐dimethylformamide gave 1‐benzyl‐6‐nitrotetrahydroquinoline in 98% yield by a tandem S N 2‐S N Ar reaction. Finally, in a similar process, reaction of this same bromide with dimethyl malonate under basic conditions gave 1,1‐bis(methoxycarbonyl)‐6‐nitro‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydronaphthalene in 80% yield. Further studies exploring ring size effects are also presented.
