Several highly efficient one-pot synthetic protocols were developed, enabling polyphosphoric acid-activated nitroalkanes to act as electrophiles in reactions with aminonapthalenes.
Electrophilically activated nitroalkanes play a dual role in the novel reaction with diaminoperimidines, promoting their oxidative peri-annulation to access tetraazapyrenes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
