A new strategy is demonstrated for the synthesis of warped, negatively curved, all-sp<sup>2</sup> -carbon π-scaffolds. Multifold C-C coupling reactions are used to transform a polyaromatic borinic acid into a saddle-shaped polyaromatic hydrocarbon (2) bearing two heptagonal rings. Notably, this Schwarzite substructure is synthesized in only two steps from an unfunctionalized alkene. A highly warped structure of 2 was revealed by X-ray crystallographic studies and pronounced flexibility of this π ...[more]
