This account focuses on the synthesis and structures of symmetric multiple carbohelicenes; i.e., fully fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons containing two or more symmetric helicene moieties. Synergies of the multiplexed helicene structures within a π-system generate a number of local minima and transition states between each state. Based on recent studies on multiple helicenes, a systematic molecular design for further multiplexed symmetric helicenes is proposed in the last section of this article.

Trimethylacetyl bromide decomposes at 298-364� into isobutene, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen bromide in a first-order manner with rate given by k1 = 138 x 1014exp(-48920/RT) sec-1 The rate is unaffected by addition of the products or of inhibitors, or by increase of the surface/volume ratio of the reaction vessel. The likely radical chain mechanism is considered and rejected. The reaction is believed to be a molecular one, and possible cyclic and polar transition states are discussed.

Positive halogen donors such as N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) induce solvolysis of dienones 1, as model 4-halogenocyclohexa-2,5-dienones, in different hydroxylic solvents (ROH), yielding the 4-RO-cyclohexa-2,5-dienones (2). The rate of the solvolysis with NIS is highly dependent on the structure of ROH. The problem of such dependency is overcome by running the reaction in ROH diluted with MeCN, a polar aprotic solvent, in place of pure ROH; the rate of the reaction in the ROH-MeCN solvent mixture is almost independent of the structure (or the polarity) of ROH, and the reaction is completed faster or markedly faster than in neat ROH. The results suggest that the solvolysis rate is controlled by the polarity of the solvent system, although the hydrogen-bond acceptability of MeCN for dilution also accelerates the reaction. A mechanism for the solvolysis is proposed, involving electrophilic attack of a positive halogen donor at the halogen atom of 1, generating the 4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl cation intermediates (8) via the rate-limiting polar transition states.
