To Greater Twist: A Kinetically Biased π‐Radical Cascade

π-Radical cascades of open-shell graphene fragments-exemplified by phenalenyl and related systems-are emerging as a versatile synthetic tool for constructing complex polycyclic aromatic frameworks. While previous investigations showed that the reaction outcome can be reduced to a...

Beyond [ N ]Phenylenes: Synthesis and Investigation of Linear [4] and [5]Naphthylenes Incorporating Multiple Four‐Membered Rings

ABSTRACT Ladder‐type polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons (PCHs) incorporating four‐membered rings represent a unique class of organic materials with local antiaromaticity and dearomatization induced by the four‐membered rings. [ N ]Phenylenes represent the only systematically synt...
