Synthesis of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds by Electrocyclization–Dehydrogenation of Diradicaloids
Herein, we present a novel and efficient method for the synthesis of two new polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, <b>1</b> and <b>2</b>, through the electrocyclization-dehydrogenation of diradicaloids. The proposed oxidative electrocyclization via intermediate diradicaloids is monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Interestingly, <b>1</b> exhibits chirality because of its inherent helical skeleton, and <b>2</b> features long-wavelength absorption and near-infrared emission properties due to its extended π-conjugation.
