AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method using Au(I) catalysis has been created to synthesize partially saturated acene derivatives from 1,7-enynes.
  • This approach offers a simple way to produce stable polycyclic compounds that resemble the structure of acenes.
  • The synthesis can generate products that extend up to nonacene, enhancing the range of acene derivatives available for study.

Article Abstract

A novel strategy for the synthesis of partially saturated acene derivatives has been developed based on a Au(I) -catalyzed cyclization of 1,7-enynes. This method provides straightforward access to stable polycyclic products featuring the backbone of the acene series, up to nonacene.
