To a solution of triphenylene (1, 1.07 g, 4.7 mmol) in nitrobenzene (40 mL) with iron powder (100 mg, 1.79 mmol) bromine (2.2 mL, 38.8 mmol) was slowly added over 15 minutes. The solution was then allowed to stand for 16 hours at room temperature. It was heated at 205 C for 2 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and mixed with diethyl ether (150 mL) and filtered. The crude white solid was washed by diethyl ether (3x30 mL) and acetone (3x10 mL). After drying in vacuo for 12 hours, 3.13 g of 2,3,6,7, 10,11-hexabromotriphenylene (yield 95%) was collected. The product was used directly without characterization due to low solubility. |

Under nitrogen, bromine (9.0 mL, 349 mmol) was added dropwise to 9 (3.95 g, 17.3 mmol) and Fe (410 mg, 7.34 mmol) in nitrobenzene (200 mL) with stirring at rt for 20 min and furthermore at 210 C for 3 h. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, Et2O was added and the precipitate was collected. The solid was washed thoroughly with Et2O, acetone, and CHCl3 to give white powder (11.5 g, 16.4 mmol, 94.8%). M.p. >300 C; 1HNMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): delta (ppm) = 8.72 (s, 6H, Ar-H); IR (KBr): numax(cm-1) = 1585, 1551, 1454, 1365, 1119, 873, 863. |

5.0 g of triphenylene, 0.49 g of iron powder and 10.1 ml of bromine were added to a reaction vessel purged with nitrogen and heated, followed by stirring at 170 C. for 10 hours. After cooling to room temperature, 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added and the mixture was further stirred for 0.5 hour. Filtration gave 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11-hexabromotriphenylene gray powder13.5 g (yield 84%) was obtained. |
