Abstract
The synthesis of a range of brominated-B<sub>n</sub>-containing (<italic>n</italic> = 1, 2) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is achieved simply by reacting BBr<sub>3</sub> with appropriately substituted alkynes <italic>via</italic> a bromoboration/electrophilic C–H borylation sequence.
