Popis: We discovered a unique synthetic route to construct 2H-pyran-containing tetracyclic dithienocyclopentapyran (DTCP) and dibenzocyclopentapyran (DBCP) architectures. The synthesis involves an acid-induced dehydration cyclization followed by a [1,5] hydride-shift isomerization to form a cyclopentanone moiety which was converted to the pyran-embedded tetracyclic products by a CuI-catalyzed intramolecular C-O bond formation in good yield. DTCP was used as a building block to prepare an acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type n-type material DTCP-BC leading to a solar cell efficiency of 9.32%.
