hello there

This is coronene. Nice, flat, aromatic. Unlike most natural products, there's really no stereochemistry to worry about. For natural product chemists, who focus on hellish twisted-looking blobs of functionality, this must be a disappointment. For people like me, who can maybe understand the difference between "left" and "right" sometimes, this is wonderful.
Needless to say, if it's chiral, you probably won't see it here.
