Tridecacyclene: Synthesis and Structural Properties of Non-Planar Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Studies Towards a Fragment of the Fullerene C240

While investigating strategies to prepare precursors to highly strained buckybowls, we focused our attention on the Lewis acid aldol cyclization of 1-acenaphthenone derivatives which has been shown to produce a cyclic tetramer as a byproduct. Surprisingly, despite the interesting structural and elec...
