Three-Fold Scholl-Type Cycloheptatriene Ring Formation around a Tribenzotriquinacene Core: Toward Warped Graphenes
2016
A nonplanar polycyclic aromatic compound 6 bearing a tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ) core merged with an o,p,o,p,o,p-hexaphenylene belt was prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The key synthesis step involves three Scholl-type cycloheptatriene ring formation steps of the 1,4,8-tris(3′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)-TBTQ derivative 5. The bridging of each of the three TBTQ bays by 1,2-phenylene units in compound 6 gives rise to an unusual wizard hat shaped structure, which represents a promising key intermediate for the construction of nonplanar nanographene molecules bearing a TBTQ core.
