Chemical compound

Cyclooctadecanonaene or annulene is an annulene with chemical formula C18H18. This hydrocarbon obeys Hückel's rule and is therefore an aromatic compound. The compound was first synthesised by Franz Sondheimer. The original synthesis started by the Eglinton reaction of the di-alkyne 1,5-hexadiyne with copper(II) acetate in pyridine to give the trimer, followed by deprotonation and isomerization with potassium tert-butoxide in tert-butanol and was concluded with hydrogen organic reduction with the Lindlar catalyst.
