Abstract: A convenient three step synthetic route starting from readily available materials was used for the synthesis of novel 5-(2-tetrahydroanthracenyl)-2-furan and -2-thiophenecarboxylic acid derivatives. The main features of the sequence are a Heck reaction between a substituted styrene derivative and bromo heterocycles, followed by high yield electrophilic cyclisation/aromatization of the intermediate thus obtained to afford the desired compounds.
