Abstract

Abstract : Hexaarylbenzene scaffolds, containing six different aromatic rings around the central benzene core, are a synthetic challenge. In their Research Article on page 22307, Svetlana B. Tsogoeva et al. report a process that allows the simple and straightforward generation of such hexaarylbenzenes (HABs). In an efficient, two‐component four‐step domino reaction, a functionalized triarylbenzene is formed and used as a key intermediate to furnish asymmetrically substituted HABs in high overall yield and without involvement of statistical steps.
