Abstract : Boomerang-shaped bipyrroles containing donor-acceptor units were obtained through a tandem palladium-mediated reaction consisting of a cyclization step, involving double C-H bond activation, and a double alpha-oxygenation. The latter reaction can be partly suppressed for the least reactive systems, providing access to alpha-unsubstituted boomerangs for the first time. These "alpha-free" systems are highly efficient fluorophores, with emission quantum yields exceeding 80% in toluene. Preliminary measurements show that helicene-like boomerangs may be usable as circularly polarized luminescent materials.
