Hydroacenes Made Easy by Gold(I) Catalysis

  • 1. Institute of Chemical research of Catalonia (ICIQ)

Description

A novel strategy for the synthesis of partially saturated acene derivatives has been developed based on a AuI-catalyzed cyclization of 1,7-enynes. This method provides straightforward access to stable polycyclic products featuring the backbone of the acene series, up to nonacene.
