A process of elimination: The through-space fluorine activation in the benzo[c]phenanthrene cyclisation process has been examined experimentally and confirmed theoretically (see figure). Thermally provoked HF homo-elimination was found to be an efficient approach for selective intramolecular aryl–aryl coupling. The data obtained provide new prospects for the synthesis of non-planar aromatic hydrocarbons and fullerenes employing the flash vacuum pyrolysis technique.
