The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) benzo[c]-naphtho[2,1-p]chrysene (1) has recently attracted renewed attention as a potential precursor for the synthesis of bowl-shaped fullerene substructures. The published synthetic approaches to 1, however, are lengthy and entail one or more photocyclizations of stilbene-type compounds that suffer from competing [2 + 2]cycloaddition reactions at normal concentrations and are thereby rendered quite inefficient. The authors report here a convenient four-step synthesis of 1 that can be performed on a multigram scale starting from the commercially available {alpha}-tetralone (2) and 2-bromonaphthalene. 12 refs.
