readily available and cheap 2, 5-dichloro-2, 5-dimethylhexane in the presence of catalytic
amount of anhydrous aluminum chloride produced various cycloannulated aromatic donors
(I-XIII) in excellent yields and they were characterized by NMR spectroscopy as well as X-ray
crystallography. All aromatic electron donors showed consistent reversibility upon
elctrochemical oxidation at various scan rates (v= 50-1000 mVs− 1). CRET, Magic Blue or …
