The potential to unlock new materials for hydrogen storage and electronic devices has driven the increasing interest in azaborine chemistry. If these molecules are to find wider commercial or industrial use, new and more efficient synthetic routes must be developed. We are working to advance these goals by reducing reaction times, increasing yields, and eliminating steps in the syntheses of several azaborine analogs of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. One of these targets is 10b-aza-10c-borapyrene. Figure 1. <img src='https://acs-archive-assets2.s3.amazonaws.com/241nm/uploads/76882_spathoside.jpg' alt='' />
