New routes to hexaphenylbenzene and HBCs

The aim of this project is to synthesize trigonally symmetrical hexaphenylbenzene, a precursor to hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) which is aimed to be obtained as the final product, with a novel starting material deoxybenzoin. Since the conventional acid and base catalyzed trimerisations have been...
