Significance

The authors used Diels-Alder additions to synthesize several electron-deficient coronene derivatives from perylene. They observed that the dianhydride perylene derivative 4 is unreactive and that the diimide variant is only reactive to a single addition. To achieve double addition, the anhydride must be esterified, although still proving less reactive than perylene.
