Abstract

The continuous flow reaction technique has been applied to the photocyclization of 1,2-diarylethenes, the so-called Mallory reaction, to afford phenacenes in high chemical yields and efficiencies (114-288mg h-1). The present technique will allow us to produce several grams of phenacenes at a time.
