Non-conjugated aromatic hexaynes and heptaynes undergo thermal domino radical cycloaromatization under mild conditions to yield indenol ring-fused fluoranthene and indenol ring-fused benzo[a]rubicene skeletons with helicity. The structure and thermal racemization of [6]helicene derivatives (12 and 13) are also described.
