Isocorannulenofuran: a versatile building block for the synthesis of large buckybowls.
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. [reaction: see text]
