Conformational Flexibility of Fused Tetracenedione Propellers Obtained from One-Pot Reductive Dimerization of Acetylenic Quinones
Reductive
dimerization of acetylenic anthraquinones provides synthetic
access to flexible nonplanar polyaromatics with a tetracenedione core.
In solution, these nonplanar, contorted polycycles exist as equilibrating
mixtures of two symmetric conformers. The fused tetracenediones are
easily reduced and exhibit rich electrochemical behavior
