Abstract

Two new members of snowflake-shaped carbon-rich molecules possessing nitrogen-heterocycles as functional end groups, hexakis(4-pyridylethynyl)benzene (1) and hexakis(5-pyrimidylethynyl)benzene (2), have been prepared by six-fold Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction of hexabromobenzene with 4-ethynylpyridine and 5-ethynylpyrimidine, respectively.
