A novel palladium-catalyzed divergent decarboxylative cyclization of 2-iodobiphenyls and alpha-oxocarboxylic acids utilizing the atmosphere as a controlled switch has been reported. Under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere, tribenzotropones are synthesized by a [4 + 3] decarboxylative cyclization. Employing a palladium/O-2 system enables a [4 + 2] decarboxylative cyclization to assemble triphenylenes. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the formation of triphenylenes involves a double decarboxylation.
