RT Journal Article T1 Straightforward Synthesis of Novel Acene-Based Aryne Precursors A1 Rodríguez-Lojo, Diego A1 Peña Gil, Diego A1 Pérez Meirás, María Dolores A1 Guitián Rivera, Enrique K1 Arynes K1 Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons K1 Acenes K1 Diels–Alder reaction K1 Cycloadditions AB Large polycyclic o-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates are easily obtained by reaction of commercially available bisaryne precursors with cyclopentadienones. The transformation involves controlled generation of one of the aryne functionalities, trapping by Diels–Alder reaction with a dienone, and chelotropic extrusion of CO. The newly synthesized triflates are precursors of acene-based arynes, including a didehydropentacene PB Thieme Publishing SN 0936-5214 YR 2015 FD 2015-06-11 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16988 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16988 LA eng NO Peña, D., Pérez, D., Rodríguez-Lojo, D., & Guitián, E.
