title: Synthesis of oxosumanenes through benzylic oxidation.
abstract: Oxosumanenes were synthesized through benzylic oxidation. The electronic and redox properties were revealed to exhibit the expanded π-conjugation compared to sumanene. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of monooxosumanene showed columnar π-stacking in a concave-convex fashion. Stereoselective trimethylation of the trioxo derivative was performed via 1,2-addition to the carbonyl groups.
