Ahead of the PAC: Polycyclicaromaticcompounds (PACs) can be easily accessed by the combination of Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling and a [Rh2(OAc)4]‐catalyzed carbene reaction using easily available bis(N‐tosylhydrazone)s as intermediates (see scheme; Ts=4‐toluenesulfonyl).
predicted by in silico screening before synthesis. Efficient protocols for the synthesis of orthoquinone‐containing aromatic compounds by palladium‐mediated homocoupling and the benzoin condensation reaction were developed. Clear switching between orthoquinone and aromatic hydroquinone compounds was observed on the basis of their photoluminescence properties. Furthermore, the twist strain of the orthoquinone
