Aromatic compounds containing phosphinine ring

Many synthetic strategies attempt to vary the shape and size of the π-conjugated system of aromatic compounds to obtain optimal properties. Recently, an alternative approach has come to the fore which introduces a heteroatom (phosphorus) into the aromatic backbone, whose specific properties (chiral center on phosphorus, easy change of oxidation state, possibility of derivatization) significantly influence the behavior of the π-framework. The presented project focuses on developing a simple and efficient synthetic approach that introduces a phosphine core into the aromatic system. This approach will be generalized and applied to the synthesis of polyaromatics, such as phospha-fenacenes, phospha-helicenes, or phospha-nanographenes.
