Abstract

The synthesis of fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is always a fascinating undertaking because this class of compounds is spread over different topics of organic chemistry, from biochemistry (in connection with their cancerogenic properties) 1 to stereochemistry (chiral helicenes). 2 Several methods have been developed to synthesize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, most of which are based on the acid-catalyzed cyclization of a ...
