Abstract

Our research endeavors on planar dehydro[8]annulenes were broadened into areas concerning syntheses and studies of strategically substituted tribenzo[a,c,e]cyclooctenes and tetrabenzo[a,c,e,g]cyclooctenes. Further conversion of these scaffolds led to novel molecules containing central planar eight-membered ring compounds.

Key words

dehydro[8]annulenes - tribenzo[a,c,e]cyclooctenes - tetrabenzo[a,c,e,g]cyclooctenes
