Significance

Dibenzobarrelene (1) and its derivatives are interesting molecules from a materials perspective, and methods of introducing various functional groups onto such architecture possess potential applications in areas such as polymer synthesis and liquid crystal alignment. The authors report a method of introducing the benzo­cyclobutene moiety to a barrelene structure.
