  1. ABSTRACT: We have established an ambient temperature, one-pot, acid-catalyzed, three-component process involving in situ formation of a tetrayne or triyne that spontaneously cyclizes to a benzyne intermediate. This is rapidly captured to give a diverse range of polycyclic phthalan derivatives. Product structural diversity was enhanced by employing various combinations of alkyne substrates and benzyne trapping reagents. This cascade reaction is versatile and efficient and can be effected by a variety of Lewis and Brønsted acid catalysts. Success in an aqueous or even solvent-free environment was demonstrated.
