Synthesis and Some Reactions of Hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile, a Hydrogen-Free Polyfunctional Heterocycle with D3h Symmetry

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00376a036

In this paper, we report for the first time the synthesis of hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile, abbreviated HAT-hexacarbonitrile.This hydrogenless, symmetrically branched compound can be prepared in analytically pure form on a large scale by using commercially available starting materials.The conversions of HAT-hexacarbonitrile to the corresponding hexaamide, hexaacid, hexaester, and trianhydride derivatives were also accomplished.
