Cubane (C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>8</sub>), a cubic alkane, has long attracted attention owing to its unique 3D structure. In order to utilize the cubane scaffold widely in science and technology, a powerful method for synthesizing diverse cubane derivatives is required. Herein, we report the synthesis of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-arylated cubanes. Directed <i>ortho</i>-metalation with lithium base/alkyl zinc and subsequent palladium-catalyzed arylation enabled C-H metalation and arylation of cubane. ...[more]
