“…Recently our group, [14] as well as Feng and Müllen, [15] independently developed the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the polycyclic aromatic azomethine ylide 1 (Scheme 1) with diarylethynes and subsequent oxidative dehydrogenation to afford fused 1,2,3,4,5-pentaarylpyrroles.W ee nvisioned that subsequent cyclization would lead to the formation of the 6b 2azapentabenzo[bc,ef,hi,kl,no]corannulenes 3.H erein we disclose the first bottom-up synthesis of 8-tert-butyl-6b 2 -azapentabenzo[bc,ef,hi,kl,no]corannulene (3a), which is an ovel bowl-shaped polycyclic aromatic molecule bearing anitrogen atom in an internal position, by the palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of the fused 1,2,3,4,5-pentaarylpyrrole 2 as the key reaction.…”
