Abstract
This thesis describes the learning opportunities, failures, and successes surrounding a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon of interest, benzo[ghi]perylene. Neglected in the chemical synthesis literature but fundamentally interesting due to its composition and molecular symmetry, the work contained herein contributes a small work to a small field. The efforts are found in three chapters for three chronologically and ideologically related topics: the construction and optimization of a flow photoreactor to produce benzo[ghi]perylene; the exploration of structure and reactivity of benzo[ghi]perylene; the development of a strategy to improve the flow photochemical productivity of benzo[ghi]perylene.
