Novel Diels-Alder and Thermal [4+4] Cycloadditions of Corroles

Abstract

Corroles participate in Diels-Alder and in thermal [4+4] cycloaddition reactions with pentacene to yield novel barrelene-fused corroles.

Examples of thermal [4+4] cycloaddition reactions have been reported in the literature. In some cases [4+4] cycloadditions compete with Diels-Alder reactions. [34-37]
