Abstract
The extended π-conjugated compounds 1–8 were synthesized by the benzannulation of the corresponding alkyne derivatives followed by Pd-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization. For the Pd-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization, microwave irradiation reduced the amount of the Pd catalyst and the reaction time. Moreover, this protocol can be achieved to prepare the extended and twisted π-conjugated molecule 19, having anthracene, helicene, and picene skeletons.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
