Abstract

The rigid molecular scaffold of the tribenzotriquinacenes (TBTQs) has emerged as a versatile structural platform that possesses unique geometrical features and allows for an orthogonal arrangement of organic functional substituents or convex-concave interactions. In this review, we summarize and discuss important synthetic strategies for a regioselective functionalization at the four distinct positions of the TBTQ basic framework, namely, apical, bridgehead, ortho, and outer rim.

1 Introduction

2 Structure and Synthesis of TBTQs

3 Bridgehead Functionalization

4 Outer Rim Functionalization

5 ortho-Functionalization

6 Apical Functionalization

7 Conclusion and Outlook
