Synthesis of Substituted [6]Phenacenes through Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling of Polyhalobenzene with Alkenylboronates and Sequential Intramolecular Cyclization via C–H Bond Activation
different from those of picene and other methoxy picenes. In addition, crystalstructures of four types of methoxy-substituted picenes 4a–c,e strongly depend on their substitution position and number of methoxy groups, which dramatically changes the structures from the fully anisotropic 1D π-stacked structure to a unique 3D herringbone structure due to steric hindrance of methoxy groups. The calculations of
