Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Nonaphenylene and its hexaalkyl derivatives have been synthesized using electron-transfer oxidation of Lipshutz cuprates with duroquinone. Oxidation of the Lipshutz cuprate derived from dibromo-o-terphenyl in THF produced nonaphenylene in moderate yield, whereas the similar oxidation of the Lipshutz cuprate derived from diiododiethyl-o-terphenyl in ether afforded the corresponding nonaphenylene and dodecaphenylene. Furthermore, oxidation of Lipshutz cuprate derived from diiododibutyl-o-terphenyl only gave the nonaphenylene.</jats:p>
