21 - 103Formation of Benzo[ghi]fluoranthenes by Palladium-Catalyzed In-tramolecular Coupling. — Photocyclization of the trans-stilbenes (III)obtained by Heck reaction forms the benzo[c]fluoranthenes (IV). Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular coupling reactions lead to formation of the titlepolycycles (V), subunits of C60. — (WANG, LE; SHEVLIN, PHILIP B.;Tetrahedron Lett. 41 (2000) 3, 285-288; Dep.
