PAHs (polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons), the compound group that contains perylene and its derivatives, including functionalized ones, have attracted a great deal of interest in many fields of science and modern technology. This review presents all of the research devoted to modifications of PAHs that are realized via the Diels–Alder (DA) cycloaddition of various dienophiles to the bay regions of PAHs, leading to the π-extension of the starting molecule. This type of annulative π-extension (APEX) strategy has emerged as a powerful and efficient synthetic method for the construction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their functionalized derivatives, nanographenes, and π-extended fused heteroarenes. Then, [4 + 2] cycloadditions of ethylenic dienophiles, -N=N-, i.e., diazo-dienophiles and acetylenic dienophiles, are presented. This subject is discussed from the organic synthesis point of view but supported by theoretical calculations. The possible applications of DA cycloaddition to PAH bay regions in various science and technology areas, and the prospects for the development of this synthetic method, are also discussed.

Bottom-up organic synthesis serves as an efficient method to provide atomically precise heteroatom-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with not only well-defined size and edge structures but also specific concentrations and positions of the heteroatoms. We provide a plenary account of the preparation of nitrogen-doped PAHs (N-PAHs) through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between different dipolarophiles, as well as pyrazine-type N-doped diaza-hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (diaza-HBC). Additionally, we present the synthesis of a class of helical N-charged PAHs, including one charged aza[5]helicene and two charged aza[4]helicenes. Moreover, the bottom-up organic synthesis strategy is further extended to the construction of novel nitrogen-boron-nitrogen (NBN)-containing PAHs. Finally, we discuss the synthesis of four-coordinate boron chromophores containing 6,12,18-tris(alkyl amine)-5,11,17-triazatrinaphthylene derivative ligands.1 Introduction2 Nitrogen-Doped PAHs Based on Dibenzo-9a-azaphenalene (DBAP)3 Cationic Nitrogen-Doped Helical PAHs4 Nitrogen–Boron–Nitrogen-Doped PAHs5 Conclusion and Outlook

We report a modular synthetic strategy for accessing heteroatom-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that relies on the controlled generation of transient heterocyclic alkynes and arynes. The strained intermediates undergo in situ trapping with readily accessible oxadiazinones. Four sequential pericyclic reactions occur, namely two Diels–Alder / retro-Diels–Alder sequences, which can be performed in a stepwise or one-pot fashion to assemble four new carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds.

Experimental reaction rates of the benzogenic Diels- Alder reaction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with maleic anhydride are correlated with the corresponding bislocalization energies calculated by the PMO method. The observed relations between the localization energies of the reacting centres and the topology of the hydrocarbons can be qualitatively understood on the basis of Clar’s π-sextet model of polycyclic systems and Polansky’s pars orbital method.
