A Highly Warped Heptagon-Containing sp2 Carbon Scaffold via Vinylnaphthyl ?-Extension.


ABSTRACT: A new strategy is demonstrated for the synthesis of warped, negatively curved, all-sp2 -carbon ?-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 ?-scaffold was ascertained by experimental and computational studies. Compound 2 exhibits excellent solubility, visible range absorption and fluorescence, and readily undergoes two reversible one-electron oxidations at mild potentials.
