A linear synthesis of o-terphenyl derivatives has been delineated using ring closing metathesis (RCM) as the key step. In this approach, benzil derivatives upon allyl Grignard addition provides diphenyl-1,2-diallyl dihydroxy derivatives which undergo ring closing metathesis to afford tetrahydro terphenyl derivatives. Aromatization-driven dehydration then leads to a diverse set of electron rich and electron deficient o-terphenyls. Furthermore, oxidative coupling of electron rich o-terphenyls provides the corresponding triphenylene derivatives.
