Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Reactions of Compounds with Craig-Möbius Aromaticity
Hong Zhang, Haiping Xia and colleagues have successfully demonstrated Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) reactions of Craig-Mobius aromaticity, osmapentalenes and fused osmapentalenes. The highly reactive nature of osmapentalene makes it susceptible to electrophilic attack by halogens, and thus osmapentalenes...
