A type B crystal of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene monohydrate was synthesized according to the process described in Synthesis, 477, 1994 and JP-A-8-119894. Namely, 1,2-dimethoxybenzene (31.78 g, 0.23 moles) and anhydrous ferric chloride (120 g, 0.74 moles) were dissolved in 70percent sulfuric acid, and the solution was reacted at 25°C for 24 hours with stirring. After completion of the reaction, the solution was poured into ice water (500 g), and the precipitated crystal was collected by filtration. After the resultant crystal was washed with water (1 L), and then dried to give pale purple colored 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexamethoxytriphenylene (28.2 g, theoretical yield from 1,2-dimethoxybenzene: 90.1percent) (the method of Synthesis, 477, 1994).

With trifluorormethanesulfonic acid; 2,3-dicyano-5,6-dichloro-p-benzoquinone In 1,2-dichloro-ethane at 20℃; for 10 h; Inert atmosphere
General procedure: An oven-dried 20 mL scintillation vial, equipped with a magnetic stir-bar, was charged with the starting material (1.0 equiv), DDQ (1.0 equiv), trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (1.4percent v/v, 3.0 equiv), and 1,2-dichloroethane (0.05 M). The reaction mixture was then allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 10 h. After this time, methanol (0.05M) was added, and the solution was then allowed to stir at ambient temperature for an additional hour. Upon addition of the methanol, some solids precipitated out of the solution. Then, the solvent was removed from the heterogeneous mixture under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by either recrystallization (methanol/DCM) or silica-gel column chromatography (hexanes/DCM) to give the title compounds.

With iron(III) chloride; sulfuric acid In dichloromethane at 20℃; for 3 h;
A solution of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene (10 g, 72.4 mmol) in dichloromethane(50 ml) was added dropwise to a suspension of anhydrous FeCl3 (35.22 g, 217.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 ml) and concentrated sulphuric acid (0.5 ml). After complete addition (15 min), the reaction mixture was further stirred for 3 h at room temperature. 200 ml of methanol were then slowly added under vigorous stirring. The obtained mixture was further stirred for additional 30 min. And the precipitate was filtered off, washed with methanol (5 × 100 ml) and dried under reduced pressure to give a purple solid.

With boron tribromide; In dichloromethane; at 20℃;
The preparation of compound 4 is similar to that reported in the literature[14]. Hexamethoxytriphenylene (7 g, 17.14 mmol) was dissolved in dichoromethane (50 ml) and the solution thus obtained was cooled in ice bath. A solution of boron tribromide (11.47 ml) was then added slowly to the reaction mixture over a period of 30 min. After complete addition, the reaction was left stirring overnight in room temperature.The reaction mixture was then slowly poured into crushed ice(100 g) and the obtained mixture was stirred vigorously until the ice melted. It was then extracted with ethyl acetate (6 × 150 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and evaporated to dryness giving dark purple solid. The yield was quantitative and this compound was used without further purification.
