Doubling the bet: Two CH bonds become functionalized upon exposure of ω-aryl propargylic tosylates to Sc(OTf)3 (see scheme). The reaction involves a new domino process that can tolerate both electron-withdrawing and -donating substituents on the arene unit. Different carbo- and heterocyclic frameworks can be assembled by using this approach to formally conquer the hydroarylation process.
