    Carbohelicenes and thiahelicene from phthalaldehydes through Perkin approach
    (2019) Sarkar, P.; Das, B.K.; Chakraborty, D.; Muthamma, K.
    Synthesis and structural features of helical nanographene molecules comprising of seven benzene rings are examined. Thus dibutyl-dicarboxylate functional [7]helicene and its two regioisomers, dinaphtho[1,2 a:1?,2? h]anthracene and naphtho[2,1 c]pentahelicene, have been synthesized in two steps through Perkin approach using napthalene-2-acetic acid and ortho- or meta-phthalaldehydes. The feasibility of this approach to construct sulfur doped twisted dithiaarenes is also investigated by using thiophene-3-acetic acid. While dithiaarenes from meta-phthalaldehyde remains challenging, synthesis and characterization of planar anthra[1,2 b:5,6 b']dithiophene and twisted 1,12-dithiapentahelicene is successful from ortho-phthalaldehyde. Conformational analysis with DFT calculation shows unique helicity preference in such doubly helical carbon nanostructures. Absorption and emission behavior of these ?-extended molecules shows enhanced conjugation. 2019 Elsevier B.V.

    Synthesis and structural features of helical nanographene molecules comprising of seven benzene rings are examined. Thus dibutyl-dicarboxylate functional [7]helicene and its two regioisomers, dinaphtho[1,2–a:1?,2?–h]anthracene and naphtho[2,1–c]pentahelicene, have been synthesized in two steps through Perkin approach using napthalene-2-acetic acid and ortho- or meta-phthalaldehydes. The feasibility of this approach to construct sulfur doped twisted dithiaarenes is also investigated by using thiophene-3-acetic acid. While dithiaarenes from meta-phthalaldehyde remains challenging, synthesis and characterization of planar anthra[1,2–b:5,6–b']dithiophene and twisted 1,12-dithiapentahelicene is successful from ortho-phthalaldehyde.
