A sequential cyclization/π-extension strategy for modular construction of nanographenes enabled by stannole cycloadditions
Stannoles are introduced as a new, spontaneously aromatizing diene for [4 + 2] cycloadditions that can be easily introduced into diverse conjugated systems, facilitating the efficient synthesis of complex PAHs and their π-extension.
