journal contribution
posted on 2016-02-20, 17:45 authored by Eiichi Kayahara, Yoichi Sakamoto, Toshiyasu Suzuki, Shigeru Yamago[10]Cycloparaphenylene ([10]CPP) was selectively synthesized in four steps in 13% overall yield from commercially available 4,4′-diiodobiphenyl by using mono-I–Sn exchange, Sn–Pt transmetalation, I–Pd exchange, and subsequent oxidative coupling reactions. The single-crystal X-ray structure of [10]CPP is described.
