A four-step route for the synthesis of 5-azatetraceene (benzo[b]acridine) has been developed, employing a base-catalysed Friedlander condensation reaction between 3-amino-2-napthaldehyde and cyclohexanone as the key step followed by dehydrogenation of the intermediate. The optical and electrochemica...
