Abstract:6,10‐Dipropyl‐5,9‐diaza[5]‐ and ‐[6]helicene were synthesized by ortho,ortho’ fusion of ortho‐teraryldicarboxamides. Key steps in the synthesis of the teraryls are azide formation with subsequent reduction and amidation, followed by Suzuki cross couplings. The ortho fusions were achieved with phosphorus pentoxide and phosphoryl oxide. The total syntheses could be accomplished with 10% and 3%, respectively, in seven consecutive steps starting with meta‐dibromobenzene. The helicenes were investigated by UV/Vis a… Show more
