Abstract

Highly condensed oxepins have been prepared in good yields from their corresponding diols by etherification using p-toluenesulfonic acid. Their intriguing twisted structures were unambiguously determined by X-ray crystallography. Substitution effects of a novel highly aromatic naphthalene annulated oxepin indicate that structural and conjugative effects have an influence on the optoelectronic properties.
