Abstract

A novel nitrogen-doped corannulene derivative, 8-tert-butyl-6b2-azapentabenzo[bc,ef,hi,kl,no]corannulene, was synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a polycyclic aromatic azomethine ylide with a diarylethyne and subsequent palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization. This molecule represents the first example of a corannulene derivative bearing an internal heteroatom, and exhibits unique structural and physical properties caused by the introduction of the nitrogen atom and extended π-conjugation, as compared to the parent corannulene.
