The utility of high-temperature gas-phase cyclisation reactions for the synthesis of fluorosubstituted cyclopenta-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was illustrated by the synthesis of 5-fluoroacenaphthylene by flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) of 1-ethynyl-5-fluoronaphthalene. The experimental results suggest that monofluorinated PAHs can be used as model compounds to study thermal interconversion of their parent PAHs since, with fluorine as a label; 19 F-NMR is a valuable tool to characterize complex mixtures.
