Abstract

Acid-catalyzed condensation of furan and pentafluorobenzaldehyde yielded conjugated macrocycles with six and eight furan rings. They represent systems similar to annulenes with 30\pi and 40\pi electrons. From their structural analyses, it was found that furan rings in both the molecules were inverted in an alternative fashion and displayed nontwisted conformations.
