Abstract
AbstractPreparative synthesis of a new, soluble, and functionalized buckybowl is described. The precursor of dibenzo[g,p]chrysene having four bromine atoms at two fjord regions undertook palladium‐catalyzed intramolecular cyclization to afford a skeletal buckybowl, namely, diindeno(1,2,3,4‐defg:1’,2’,3’,4’‐mnop)chrysene. The resulting curved scaffold possesses two important substituents: four‐fold alkyls increasing solubility and four‐fold methoxy groups that could be further functionalized. These two features, coupled with the gently curved π‐system, enable general access to solution‐compatible and multi‐functional buckybowl molecules.
