Synthesis of a trisazahexaradialene and X-ray crystal structure of a derivative
Abstract
The triamine (4), obtained by reaction of hexakisbromomethylbenzene with benzylamine, has been structually elucidated by X-ray crystallography; reaction of (4) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid and subsequently with a mixture of acetic anhydride and triethylamine yields NN′N″-tribenzylbenzo[1,2-c: 3,4-c′ : 5,6-c″]tripyrrole (3), the first example of the trisazahexaradialene ring system.
