Abstract

An efficient synthetic approach for functionalization of both the active sites (1,3-) and the K-region (4,5,9,10-) of pyrene was accomplished by bromination and oxidation with considerable yield. These novel pyrene-fused azaacenes were thoroughly investigated by X-ray diffraction studies, electrochemistry, and DFT calculations. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
