碗狀化合物為巴克球的部份結構，是一個適合的結構模型來探討富勒烯的材料特性，並應用於合成各式碳數巴克球的研究。傳統製備碗狀化合物的方法需要經過繁雜的合成過程，經濟效應不佳。之後真空熱裂解法FVP的開發提供了一個較為有效地製備方式，但此方法仍存在著許多無法克服的缺點，例如：反應條件嚴苛、官能基容忍度差、無法量產、容易造成分子熱力學結構重排等。近年來隨著合成技術的成長，碗狀化合物漸漸地成功於溫和液相溶液中被合成製備。
在本實驗室先前的研究中已成功地於液相條件中，利用鈀金屬催化MizorokiHeck反應進行分子內碳碳鍵耦合而得到化合物27，但現階段製備產率仍不佳。因此，在本實驗中將試圖針對改變反應條件，用以改善碗狀化合物的合成產率。但實驗結果產率並沒有明顯改善。再由碗狀化合物的性質觀點來看，化合物的溶解度亦可能是影響產率的因素之一，因而我們試圖在周圍接上烷基長鏈合成化合物52，用以改善碗狀化合物溶解度。另外，我們以這反應條件做為基礎對化合物24進行環化反應，根據單晶繞射技術判斷產物的結構進而推測反應機構。但最後得到資訊並不充分，因此無法判斷反應機構。

Buckybowls are based in part on the structure of a buckyball and,buckybowls are bowlshaped molecule made with arrangement of carbon atoms. The chemists often use buckybowls as models to study the property and reactivity of fullerenes. At the beginning buckybowls were prepared through complicated steps, and the research of synthetic buckybowls is also restricted. After a long period of time, the chemists used flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) to synthesize buckybowls, but this method have some drawbacks such as poor functional group tolerance, thermal rearrangements, low yields and only applied to small scale. At the present time, the chemists have developed some methods under mild condition via solution to prepare buckybowls.
In our laboratory, we had used Mizoroki-Heck reaction which metalcatalyzed carboncarbon bond formation under mild conditions, and we can get compound 27, but the yield was poor. Therefore, this study attempted to adjust the reaction conditions in order to improve the yield. However, the yield is no significant improvement, so we wanted to make compound 27 possessing alkyl group in order to increase solubility. In addition, we used the same reaction conditions to synthesize compound 25 or compound 26 and determined the structure of the products by Xray crystal analyses, which help us to speculate the reaction mechanism. Unfortunately, we only get compound 37, and did not get the compound 25 compound 26. We don’t have sufficient information to determine the reaction mechanism.
