Hexaarylbenzenes exist in a conformation in which the peripheral rings are perpendicular to the plane of the central ring on the nmr time scale. Hexaarylbenzenessubstituted in ortho or meta positions of the peripheral rings display restricted rotation aboutthe single bonds joining the central and peripheral rings, and complex stereoisomerism and stereoisomerization behavior results. The rotational barriers observed are relatively high (up to~ 38 kcal/mol), and even rings bearing only a m-methyl substituent lead to barriers of~ 16 kcal/mol.Recent studies of torsional isomerism in triarylmethanes, 2 tetraarylethanes, 3 and related systems2· 4 suggested that suitably substituted hexaarylbenzenes might also demonstrate restricted rotation. If substituted hexaarylbenzenes having relatively high barriers to rotation about thebonds connecting the peripheral and central aromatic rings could be synthesized, a molecular system possessing a rich variety of interesting stereochemical features would result. Reported here are the results of an initial study demonstrating that this is indeed the
