The aryne generated by the fluoride-induced,1,2-elimination of 2-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates undergoes an efficient cascade reaction initiated by the Diels-Alder reaction with the differently substituted styrenes leading to the formation of 9-aryl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene derivatives in moderate to good yields.</p>},
