Abstract
This paper presents an efficient synthetic procedure for the preparation of mono-, diand trifunctionalized triphenylene derivatives starting from the readily available hexakis(pentyloxy)triphenylene by selective ether cleavages with B -bromocatecholborane (2-bromo-1,3,2-benzodioxaboroles). Functionalized triphenylene derivatives are the precursor molecules for the preparation of processible triphenylene discotic dimers, oligomers, polymers and networks.
