A new triethylamine-catalyzed cascade reaction of aromatic aldehydes with propiolates has been developed. This serial multi-bond-forming
process furnishes diverse polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including naphthalenes, phenanthrenes, benzofurans, and 2,3,9,9a-tetrahydronaphtha[2,3-b]furans. The chemical outcome of the process depends on the reaction temperature and can be tailored selectively by an appropriate
choice of experimental conditions.
