• triphenylene (2.0 g, 2.7 mmol), 1,12-dibromododecane (4.4 g, 13.0 mmol), cesium carbonate (1.12 g, 8.8 mmol) and 50 ml of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) was refluxed for 48 h at 85 °C. The resulting mixture was cooled and poured into 50 ml of water and then extracted into chloroform. The organic layer was washed
