Iptycenes - Extended triptycenes
Properties of iptycenes and particular structural features of several iptycenes are briefly discussed, as are certain extensions beyond the compounds presented here. Methods for preparing useful synthons are described. Three new, much improved syntheses of triptycene, itself a useful iptycene synthon, are presented. In addition, improved syntheses of pentiptycenes and heptiptycene are described.
