RT Journal Article T1 1,7-Naphthodiyne: a new platform for the synthesis of novel, sterically congested PAHs A1 Pozo Míguez, Iago A1 Cobas Martínez, Agustín A1 Peña Gil, Diego A1 Guitián Rivera, Enrique A1 Pérez Meirás, María Dolores AB The synthesis of an efficient precursor of the novel 1,7-naphthodiyne synthon is reported. Preliminary experiments demonstrate the usefulness of this platform for the synthesis of sterically congested polyarenes, such as helicenes and angularly fused acene derivatives. Furthermore, a novel intramolecular aryne trapping reaction is described PB Royal Society of Chemistry SN 1359-7345 YR 2016 FD 2016-03-17 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16990 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16990 LA eng NO Pozo, I., Cobas, A., Peña, D., Guitián, E., & Pérez, D.
