Abstract

Intramolecular oxidative fusion reaction of macrocyclic heteroaromatic arrays has provided strained polycyclic heteroaromatic macrocycles as promising functional molecules. In this study, we prepared an ortho-phenylene-pyrrole-thiophene hybrid icosamer, as the largest cyclic array in the series. The oxidative fusion reaction with [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene (PIFA) afforded a cyclophane-type aza[5]helicene-incorporated macrocycle, the structure of which was unambiguously revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Its optical properties have been investigated in detail.

Keywords: heterohelicene; intramolecular oxidative coupling; cyclophane; fluorescence
