Triptycene Diols: A Strategy for Synthesizing Planar pi Systems through Catalytic Conversion of a Poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) into a Poly(p-phenylene vinylene)

At level best: A strategic synthesis of a new class of poly(p-phenylene vinylene)-bearing annulated alkene units from a parent poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) is described (see scheme). The gold-mediated cycloisomerization reaction of alkynes with appended hydroxy-group reacting partners delivers produ...
