Outline of Final Research Achievements

The curved aromatic compounds have been expected to show the unique physical properties derived from their π-conjugated systems. In this study, the synthesis of belt-like polycyclic aromatic system was studied by performing a thermal self-cycloaddition of the isobenzofuran containing an electron-acceptor moiety. Two approaches for the donor-acceptor molecules were developed by utilizing either bisaryne or bisisobenzofuran as the reactive platforms, which enabled the construction of belt-like polycyclic molecules.
