Synthesis of [2,2](2,7)naphthalenophane-1,11-diene

Abstract
[2,2](2,7)Naphthalenophane-1,11-diene (l) and its dideuteriated analogue (IV) have been synthesized by elimination reactions of the bis(dimethylsulphonium)-naphthalenophane salt (III); the diene (I) photocyclizes to coronene in high yield under oxidative conditions.
