Abstract

The synthesis and chemistry of dehydroannulenes and their benzannelated analogs, although extensively explored during the Sondheimer era, 1 has experienced a vigorous resurgence over the last few years. 2, 3 Much of the renewed interest can be attributed to the recognition that these compounds can potentially serve as precursors for a variety of technologically important, carbon-rich molecular and polymeric systems, such as novel ...
