title = "Electro-oxidative Trimerization of 1,2-Dimethoxybenzene: Reductive Workup Strategy and Alternating Current Electrolysis to Peel off the Precipitated Radical Cation Ion Pair",
abstract = "An oxidative trimerization of catechol and its derivatives affords triphenylene derivatives. Under these electrochemical conditions, overoxidation results in precipitation of a radical cation pair of triphenylenes with a counter anion, which prevents efficient synthesis. A reductive workup strategy, in which the precipitate is peeled from the electrodes, affords the trimer in good yield. Furthermore, alternating current (AC) electrolysis provides a convenient synthesis without any precipitation.",
