49. Specifically, 2,6-bis-(2-bromophenyl)-4-phenyl pyrylium salts were condensed with sodium phenyl acetate and the resulting tetraphenylbenzenes Pd(0)-catalyzed dehydrohalogenated.
50. The product ratio of phenyl dibenzonaphthacenes to diphenyl triphenylenes depends on the catalyst and on the specific substituents attached to the molecules.
51. Independent from our work, the application of aryl-substituted aromatics, including triphenylenes, in electroluminescent devices has been described in the patent literature.; e.g. H.-N. Cho, S.H. Jung, S.-J. Park, S.-E. Lee, US Patent 2005067955, 2005.
52. Independent from our work, the application of aryl-substituted aromatics, including triphenylenes, in electroluminescent devices has been described in the patent literature.; e.g. T. Schäfer, K. Müllen, M.G.R. Turbiez, M. Baumgarten, WO Patent 2008012250, 2008.
53. Specifically, when triphenylpyrylium salts are treated with sodium 2-bromo phenylacetate, the intermediate 1-(2-bromophenyl)-2,4,6-triphenyl benzene can be isolated and Pd(0)-catalyzed dehydrobromination gives 1,3-diphenyl triphenylene. However, the purification process decreases the isolated amount of pure material so that this approach can not compete with the synthetic strategy described here.
