Straightforward synthesis of 2- and 2,8-substituted tetracenes

Straightforward synthesis of 2- and 2,8-substituted tetracenes

A simple regiospecific route to otherwise problematic substituted tetracenes is described. The diverse cores (E)- 1,2-Ar1CH2(HOCH2)C=C(CH2OH)I (Ar1 = Ph, 4-MePh, 4-MeOPh, 4-FPh) and (E)-1,2-I(HOCH2)C=C(CH2OH)I, accessed from ultra-low cost HOCH2C≡CCH2OH at multi-gram scales, allow the synthesis of d...
