6,13-Difluoropentacene was synthesized from 1,4-difluorobenzene. Friedel-Crafts annulation of the latter with phthalic anhydride and subsequent reduction of the anthraquinone gave 1,4-difluoroanthracene. After <i>ortho</i>-lithiation and reaction with phthalic anhydride a carboxylic acid was obtained whose Friedel-Crafts acylation and subsequent reductive removal of the oxygen-functionalities resulted in the formation of the target compound. The HOMO-LUMO gap of 6,13-difluoropentacene was determ ...[more]
