Front Cover: Towards Nonalternant Nanographenes through Self‐Promoted Intramolecular Indenoannulation Cascade by C−F Bond Activation (Chem. Eur. J. 50/2019).

In contrast to the vast majority of reactions dealing with strain energies inherent to synthesis of non-alternant PAHs, alumina-mediated C-F bond activation turns out to be more sensitive to electronic effects rather than steric. In contrast to the vast majority of reactions dealing with strain energies inherent to synthesis of non-alternant PAHs, alumina-mediated C-F bond activation turns out to be more sensitive to electronic effects rather than steric. Aromatization, buckybowls, C-C coupling, C-F activation, indenoannulation. [Extracted from the article]
