Straightforward Synthesis of 2‐ and 2,8‐Substituted Tetracenes

A simple regiospecific route to otherwise problematic substituted tetracenes is described. The diverse cores (E)‐1,2‐Ar1CH2(HOCH2)C=C(CH2OH)I (Ar1=Ph, 4‐MePh, 4‐MeOPh, 4‐FPh) and (E)‐1,2‐I(HOCH2)C=C(CH2OH)I, accessed from ultra‐low cost HOCH2C≡CCH2OH at multi‐gram scales, allow the synthesis of diol...
