Dearomatization reaction

A dearomatization reaction is an organic reaction in which the reactants are arenes and the products permanently lose their aromaticity.[1] It is of some importance in synthetic organic chemistry for the organic synthesis of new building blocks [1] and in total synthesis.[2] Types of carbocyclic arene dearomization include hydrogenative (Birch reduction), alkylative, photochemical, thermal, oxidative, transition metal-assisted and enzymatic.[1]
