1,5,9‐Triazacoronenes: A Family of Polycyclic Heteroarenes Synthesized by a Threefold Pictet–Spengler Reaction

Abstract

We are family: Triazacoronene derivatives have been synthesized in four steps from veratrole by using a threefold Pictet–Spengler reaction as the key step (see picture). They have good photophysical and electronical properties, thermal stability, and solubility, thus rendering them promising candidates as electron-transport materials.
