(2016). 1,7-Naphthodiyne: a new platform for the synthesis of novel, sterically congested PAHs. Chemical Communications, 52(32), 5534-5537. doi: 10.1039/c6cc01214k1359-7345http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16990The 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 describedeng© The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016journal article10.1039/C6CC01214K1364-548Xopen access
