Abstract

The synthesis of the title compound is described. Evidence is presented for its preferential “face-edge''conformation. Charge-transfer complexation proves to be a classical aa interaction with the “face-edge” conformation. There is no evidence for inclusion complexation. Attempted synthesis of substituted analogues of the title compound is described, including novel transformations in the 1, 2, 4-trisubstituted and 1, 2, 3, 4- ...
