Synthesis and Structures of a Series of Bulky “Rind-Br” Based on a Rigid Fused-Ring s-Hydrindacene Skeleton

A series of octa-R-substituted bromo-s-hydrindacenes, “Rind-Br,” have been synthesized by a sequence of the Lewis acid catalyzed intramolecular Friedel–Crafts reaction, bromination and vice versa. ...
