Abstract
Described herein is a synthesis of pi-extended polycyclobutabenzenes, a class of molecules of structural and theoretical interest. The preparation is based on the repeated 2+2 cycloadditions of benzyne and ketene silyl acetal (KSAs), followed by Peterson olefination of the resulting poly-ketone derivatives. By these steps, we were able to prepare various polymethylenecyclobutabenzenes. Structural study on these compounds showed properties related to the strained four-membered ring.
