One-Pot, High-Yielding, Oxidative Cyclodehydrogenation Route for N-Doped Nanographene Synthesis

Org Lett. 2016 Jan 4;18(1):88-91. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.5b03312. Epub 2015 Dec 18.

Abstract

An intramolecular oxidative cyclodehydrogenation via a one-pot process is described, which induces selective C-C bond formation and bromine functionalization. The application of this new route gives rise to a novel family of partially fused, selectively brominated N-doped pyrimidine graphenes.
