Abstract
Application of a mild-condition reductive/oxidative protocol to the large poorly-conjugated aromatic structure of decacyclene affords a water soluble oxygenated amphiphilic material which has been characterized and compared with the hydrocarbon precursor by means of solution 1H NMR and solid-state 13C CPMAS NMR, vibrational, electron, and mass spectroscopies. The nature of the different oxygenated moieties covalently attached to decacyclene framework is elucidated and the role of molecular O2 in the oxidizing reaction path of reduced decacyclene is discussed.
