A convenient synthesis of a 2,7-difunctional tetra(alkoxy)triphenylene involving 4,4′-diacetoxy-3,3′-dialkoxybiphenyl as a key precursor and its conversion to extended hybrid mesogenic compounds

A new rational pathway to 2,7-difunctionalised-β-hexa-substituted triphenylenes is presented, requiring less protection/deprotection and purification steps than more conventional synthetic procedures in the framework of the 'biphenyl route'. Main improvements are deprotection via alkaline...
