RESUMEN
Functionalized derivatives of the saddle-shaped molecule tetrabenzo[8]circulene were successfully synthesized through a Diels-Alder/oxidative cyclodehydrogenation approach. This methodology improves on our previously reported synthesis, affording products containing both electron-rich and electron-poor functional groups from readily available starting materials in a more efficient manner. The optoelectronic effects that result from the introduction of this functionality are presented and briefly discussed.
