Abstract
We disclose a four-step oxidize-condense-oxidize-condense synthesis pathway to prepare nonsymmetric pyrene-fused pyrazaacenes (PPAs) using our recently discovered oxidation conditions for 2,7-di-tert-butylpyrene. The new pathway results in marked improvements in yields and simplifies purification as compared with the sequential condensation strategy previously employed to make these compounds.
