dearomatization  

Definition

  • A dearomatization reaction is an organic reaction which involves arenes as reactants and in which the reaction products have permanently lost their aromaticity. This reaction type is of some importance in synthetic organic chemistry for the organic synthesis of new building blocks and in total synthesis. Several methods for the dearomatization of carbocyclic arenes exist: hydrogenation (Birch reduction) , alkylative dearomatization, photochemical dearomatization, thermal dearomatization, oxidative dearomatization, dearomatization with transition metals and enzymatic dearomatization.
