Geodesic Polyarenes by Flash Vacuum Pyrolysis

“…71 → 11 , Scheme ). FVP of 91 was expected to yield tribenzo[ a,d,j ]corannulene ( 23 , Scheme ), and it does, but a fraction of the molecules also close a third ring to give 21 . This was the first example of the “cascade” effect discovered in the Scott laboratory (cf.…”

“…The first synthesis of tribenzo[ a,d,j ]corannulene ( 23 ) is the one shown above in Scheme . Several years later, Mehta and Srirama Sarma prepared the same compound again by FVP of 93 (Scheme ) .…”

Synthesis, Structures, and Physical Properties of Aromatic Molecular-Bowl Hydrocarbons

“…FVP synthesis of benzo[a]corannulene 85 was conducted with benzofluoranthene 84 [115] or [4]helicene precursor 86 [116] (Scheme 24). The former protocol is similar to the synthesis of corannulene (1) from fluoranthene 10 (Scheme 2).…”

The Synthesis of Tris‐Annulated Benzenes by Aldol Trimerization of Cyclic Ketones

“…Table 1 provides some additional representative examples [6,10,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…This steric effect is even more dramatic in the next higher member of the series. Thus, whereas 4-acephenanthrenone (28) trimerizes to tribenzo[a,l,w]decacyclene (29) in almost quantitative yield under relatively mild conditions [27,28], the chlorinated derivative 36 gives no more than traces of the cyclic trimer under a wide range of experimental conditions [28]. The only low molecular weight product isolated in the latter case (57 % yield þ recovered starting material) is the acyclic aldol dimer 37 (Figure 7).…”
