Abstract
Convergent synthetic pathways were devised for efficient synthesis of a series of uniformly (13)C labeled polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons de novo from U-(13)C-benzene and other simple commercially-available (13)C-starting compounds. All target products were obtained in excellent yields, including the alternant PAH U-(13)C-naphthalene, U-(13)C-phenanthrene, U-(13)C-anthracene, U-(13)C-benz[a]anthracene, U-(13)C-pyrene and the nonalternant PAH U-(13)C-fluoranthene.
