The need for a functionalized pentaarylbenzene 1 has been growing in several application materials such as luminescent materials, 2 optical devices, 3 supramolecular electronics, 4 and catalyst materials. 5 The well-defined array of aromatic rings 6 enhances the properties inherent in functional groups and useful materials. 7 Thus, these applications imply that it could be of interest to prepare a novel pentaarylbenzene derivative endowed with functional moieties.
