The Elbs reaction enables the synthesis of condensed aromatic systems. As already demonstrated by Elbs in 1884 it is possible to obtain

The Elbs reaction is sometimes accompanied by elimination of substituents and can be unsuited for substituted polyaromatics.

At least three plausible mechanisms for the Elbs reaction have been suggested. The first mechanism, suggested by

Alternatively, in the second mechanism, due to Cook, the methylated aromatic compound instead first undergoes a

to give the same intermediate, which then similarly undergoes a -hydride shift and dehydration.
