title: Isocorannulenofuran: a versatile building block for the synthesis of large buckybowls.
abstract: Isocorannulenofuran, synthesized in two steps from accessible bromocorannulene, gives Diels-Alder adducts with benzynes which can be deoxygenated to produce large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) combining the bowl-shaped corannulene subunit with planar fragments.
