Abstract
This communication is concerned with our efforts in improving the syntheses of five hydroxytetraphenylens, which we obtained before. A short consecutive direct ortho-metalation and oxidative coupling sequence from N-pivaloyl-protected substituted aniline provided the corresponding 2,2'-diiodobiphenyls. Subsequently, copper(II)-mediated oxidative coupling of 2,2'-diiodobiphenyls successfully led to the formation of the corresponding hydroxytetraphenylenes. This is the first time that hydroxytetraphenylenes 2, 4 and 5 were all realized via oxidative cross-coupling reactions from the corresponding 2,2'-diiodobiphenyls.
