Application

Hexaphenylbenzene can be used as a starting material to synthesize:
  • 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexacyclohexylcyclohexane by Pd/C catalyzed hydrogenation reaction.
  • Stable hexatrityl cations and porous organic polymers for applications in catalysis and gas storage.
  • Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene via one-pot substitution and oxidative cyclodehydrogenation reaction in the presence of t-BuCl/FeCl3.
