Abstract
A survey of the results obtained by us in the course of cyclizations of 4-arylolefins indicates that boron trifluoride is the most satisfactory catalyst in the case of otherwise non-functionalized substrates. Its use is illustrated by the synthesis of the heretofore unknown 1,3,6,8-tetramethyltriphenylene and by an improved preparation of 1,5-dimethylnaphthalene.
