Palladium-Catalyzed C–H Activation Taken to the Limit. Flattening an Aromatic Bowl by Total Arylation
Abstract

All 10 C–H positions on the rim of corannulene can be arylated by repetitive palladium-catalyzed C–H activation. To relieve congestion among the 10 tightly packed aryl substituents in the product, the central corannulene adopts a nearly planar geometry.
