Application
Pentacene
Pentacene has already been put to practical use in
thin-film transistor. But, it unfortunately is prone
toward oxidative degradation.
There is demand for alternative, acene-like topologies.

Frame-work
• Acenes
condensed benzene ring in a line
• Dibenzopentalene
Pentalene
• Dibenzoindacene
Attractive Structural Motifs
Indacene

Dibenzoindacene
• Antiaromatic (20 π-electorons)
p-Xylylene
• p-Xylylene core
• More resistant to degrade acenes
It does not possess any internal s-cis diene linkage.
s-cis diene
Fully conjugated dibenzoindacenes are
extremely rare.

Example1 of Dibenzoindacene
• Transannular Cyclization is induced by Iodine,
electrophilic.
• Tetraiodides
These rapidly oxidized to the corresponding diones
upon exposure to air.
R = H, Decane, Dodecane

Motivation
• The dibenzoindacene (tetraiodides) synthesized in a
single step is unstable.
• Multiple steps are required to synthesize the stable
one.
• For easy synthesis, a short-step synthesis rout is
required.
• I have studied to synthesize a dibenzoindacene with
transannular cyclization.

Various reaction conditions were investigated.
(concentration of material, equivalent of BuLi,
reaction time, reaction temperature)
Reaction conditions were optimized.

Future Work 1
• I will study reaction conditions for the next
transannular cyclization.
• Then I will mesure its physical properties, and tune
them by using other reagents instead of BuLi and BuI.

Future Work 2
• Bergman Cycloaromatization

Summary
• Dibenzoindacene are rare fully conjugated species.
• The reaction conditions for transannular cyclization
of dehydrobenzo[12]annulene were optimized.
• Future works are transannular cyclization of the next
step and bergman cycloaromatization to synthesize
π-conjugated compounds with short-steps.
