Abstract

Abstract 3-(4H-Cyclopenta [def] phenanthrylidene)-1, 5-bis-(trimethylsilyl)-1, 4-pentadiyne (3) was synthesized and converted by hydropyrolysis into corannulene (1) besides others in reasonable yields. It represents a new route of the simplest bowl-shaped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon starting from an easily accessible precursor.
