Abstract
The intramolecular Bradsher cyclization refers to the acid-catalyzed aromatic cyclodehydration of ortho-acyl diarylmethanes to form anthracenes. On the other hand, the intermolecular Bradsher cycloaddition often involves the Diels–Alder reaction of a pyridium with a vinyl ether or vinyl sulfide.
