Name: 2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol《The synthesis of lactone-bridged 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene derivatives as pi-expanded coumarin triskelions》 was published in 2017. The authors were Hintz, Heather A.;Sortedahl, Nicholas J.;Meyer, Samantha M.;Decato, Daniel A.;Dahl, Bart J., and the article was included in《Tetrahedron Letters》. The author mentioned the following in the article:
Two triply lactone-bridged 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene derivatives I and II with solubilizing moieties were synthesized in five and six steps from com. available starting materials. Compounds containing the 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene core with two atom bridges are relatively unknown. This new class of pi-expanded coumarins contain triskelion architectures and X-ray crystallog. studies of one of the triskelions indicated that the 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene core adopted a near-planar geometry. This is the only known example of a two atom-bridged 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene derivative to adopted a planar structure.2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol (cas: 110-03-2) were involved in the experimental procedure.
2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol(cas:110-03-2) is used as an intermediate in the preparation of 2.5-Dimethyl-2.5-bis(tertbutyl-peroxy)hexane. It is also used in the synthesis of six- and seven-membered heterocyclic boron compounds.Name: 2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol
