We report the synthesis of a series of 2,3,5,6-tetraalkoxydibenz[ a,c]anthracenes bearing substituents (H, OCH3, or CN) in the 11- and 12-positions and an investigation of their liquid- crystalline properties. The synthesis involved Suzuki coupling of the appropriate dibromonaphthalene and boronate ester, followed by an oxidative cyclization. Compounds 4 and 5, bearing OCH3 and H, respectively, do not exhibit any liquid-crystalline properties. In contrast, compounds 6a-c, bearing cyano groups, assemble into columnar mesophases, suggesting that electron-withdrawing groups are important for promoting columnar mesophase assembly. Analysis of the XRD revealed that compound 6b exhibits a columnar hexagonal phase, whereas compounds 6a and 6c exhibit columnar rectangular phases. The XRD data of 6a and 6b also show reflections that are consistent with antiparallel dimers within the columnar stacks, and intercolumnar spacings suggest that molecules are tilted within the columns.

Vicinally diiodinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (I2-PAHs) are accessible from the corresponding diborylated B2-PAHs through boron/iodine exchange. The B2-PAHs have been prepared via twofold electrophilic borylation reactions templated by a vicinally disilylated benzene. Our protocol is applicable to fluorenes, acenes, annulated acenes, oligoaryls, and even [5]helicene. Using B2-naphthalene as the example, we have shown that the reaction scope can, in principle, be expanded to include the synthesis of vicinally dibrominated and dihydroxylated PAHs. The usefulness of the building blocks provided by our method in the field of optoelectronic materials was demonstrated by the successful conversion of I2-fluoranthene to the analogous doubly alkynylated fluoranthene emitter.
Access to polysubstituted naphthalenes and anthracenes via a retro-Diels–Alder reaction

Naphthalene and anthracene nuclei are present in several natural and synthetic compounds. Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, access to functionalized naphthalenes and anthracenes has attracted the attention of both synthetic and medicinal chemists over the decades. In this study, successive Diels–Alder/retro-Diels–Alder reactions of dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate with various bicyclic alkenes in one pot to yield naphthalene and anthracene derivatives are reported. Using anti- and syn-cyclotrimers derived from the cyclotrimerization of benzobarrelene as alkene partner enabled efficient synthesis of trinaphthylene.
