We report amodular synthetic strategy for accessing heteroatom-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Our approach relies on the controlled generation of transient heterocyclic alkynes and arynes.T he strained intermediates undergo in situ trapping with readily accessible oxadiazinones.F our sequential pericyclic reactions occur, namely two Diels-Alder/retro-Diels-Alder sequences,w hich can be performed in astepwise or one-pot fashion to assemble four new carbon-carbon (CÀC) bonds.T hese studies underscore howthe use of heterocyclic strained intermediates can be harnessed for the preparation of new organic materials.
