Monohydroxytriphenylene [TP(OH)(OR)5] is an important intermediate for functionalized or polymeric discotic liquid crystals. Based on the polarity difference among triphenylene derivatives, a new simple method was designed to synthesize monohydroxytriphenylene [TP(OH)(OR)5]: oxidative trimerization of 1,2-dialkoxybenzene and 2-methoxyphenol by FeCl3 in 70% sulfuric acid resulted in 2,3,6,7,10,11- hexa(alkoxy)triphenylene [TP(OR)6] and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-6,7,10,11-tetra(alkoxy)triphenylene [TP(OH)- (OMe)(OR)4], then alkylation with RBr and demethylation with Ph2PLi afforded the title compounds. The total yield of the three steps was in the range of 14%~19%.

Key words: discotic liquid crystal, triphenylene, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-6,7,10,11-tetra-(alkoxy)tripheny- lene, 2-hydroxy-3,6,7,10,11-penta(alkoxy)triphenylene, selective demethylation
