Abstract
Abstract Terphenyl derivatives possess various biological activities, such as immunosuppressants, antioxidants, neuroprotective activity, cytotoxic activity, and antithrombotic activity, and they are also widely used in liquid crystal materials. Significant effort has been devoted to the synthesis of such compounds. Classified into coupling reaction, cycloaddition, dehydrogenation and other methods, this review provides a summary of recently developed methods for the preparation of terphenyls.
