Sterically Driven Metal-Free Oxidation of 2,7-Di-tert-butylpyrene

Green Chem., 2020, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D0GC02000A, CommunicationTarek H. El-Assaad, Keshaba Nanda Parida, Marcello F Cesario, Dominic V McGrath We disclose an unprecedented single-step metal-free green oxidation of 2,7-di-tert-butylpyrene selectively into either the corresponding 4,5-dione or 4,5,9,10-tetraone, two key building blocks used for organic optoelec ¬tronic applications.
