Abstract

The unprecedented epoxidation on the peripheral positions of tetracene and pentacene with hydrogen peroxide-urea adduct catalyzed by the metalloporphyrin [Mn(TDCPP)Cl] is reported under mild conditions, affording the direct polyfunctionalization of the acenes to anti-diepoxy-meso-quinone derivatives.
