Abstract
A facile one-pot tetramerization of indolin-2-one with phosphoryl chloride was applied for the first convenient direct synthesis of C2v- symmetric cyclooctatetraindole with an 8π annulene as the center. Tetra- and octa-arylated cyclooctatetraindole derivatives functionalized with fluorescent fluorene and pyrene units were thus facilely synthesized and characterized.
