Hexaarylbenzene (HAB) derivatives are versatile aromatic systems playing a significant role as chromophores, liquid crystalline materials, molecular receptors, redox materials, organic light-emitting diodes and photochemical switches. Statistical synthesis of simple symmetrical HABs is known <i>via</i> low-yielding cyclotrimerization or Diels-Alder reactions. By contrast, the synthesis of more complex, asymmetrical systems, and without involvement of statistical steps, remains an unsolved problem. Here we present a generally applicable synthetic strategy to access asymmetrical HAB <i>via</i> an atom-economical and high-yielding metal-free four-step domino reaction using nitrostyrenes and <i>α,α</i>-dicyanoolefins as easily available starting materials. Resulting domino product – functionalized triarylbenzene (TAB) - can be used as a key starting compound to furnish asymmetrically substituted hexaarylbenzenes in high overall yield and without involvement of statistical steps. This straightforward domino process represents a distinct approach to creating diverse and still unexplored HAB scaffolds, containing six different aromatic rings around central benzene core.

β-Nitrostyrenes underwent the Diels-Alder reaction with Danishefsky’s diene to afford cyclohexenes together with the corresponding hydrolyzed products, 3-arylated 5-methoxy-4-nitrocyclohexanones. When the reaction was conducted in the presence of water, the cyclohexenes were efficiently hydrolyzed into cyclohexanones. Subsequent aromatization by heating the cyclohexanone with a catalytic amount of iodine in dimethyl sulfoxide gave 3-arylated 4-nitrophenols. The reaction of nitrostyrenes with Danishefsky’s diene could be conducted in one-pot to directly afford the corresponding nitrophenols. Moreover, a heteroaryl group such as a thienyl group could be introduced into the nitrophenol framework.
