*Please refer to dissertation for diagrams. / In addition, a precursor of tetraphenylene-based monodentate ligand ( S,S)-114 was also prepared, and the structures of five compounds, namely 89, 124, 125, 133 and 137 were examined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. These structural determinations were relevant in establishing regiochemistry and absolute stereochemistry.* / In the synthesis of enantiopure (S,R,S)-48 and (R,S,R)-48, two routes were successfully employed. One way was to follow the same pathway for the synthesis of racemic 48 by using enantiopure (S,S)- and (R,R)-1,8,9,16-teramethoxytetraphenylenes [(S,S)-89 and (R,R)- 89] as staring materials. Another way was by direct resolution of racemic 48 via derivatization into its two diastereomeric hexakis-(S)-camphorsulfonates 135 and 136. / In the synthesis of racemic 48, 3-nitrophenol (115) was employed as the starting material which upon a series of standard reactions provided 2,2'-diiodo-1,1'-biphenyl (119). Through sequential lithium-iodine exchange and Cu(II)-mediated oxidative cyclocoupling, 119 was converted to 1,8,9,16-tetramethoxytetraphenylene (89) . The key intermediate 1,8-dihydroxy-9,16-dimethoxytetraphenylene (87) was obtained by partial demethylation of 89. This intermediate was transformed to 1,4,5,8-tetrahydroxy-9,16-dimethoxytetraphenylene (126) by a quinone-hydroquinone strategy. Demethylation of 126 furnished the target compound 48. / This thesis describes the synthesis of 1,4,5,8,9,16-hexahydroxytetraphenylene (48)* in its racemic and enantiopure (S,R,S) and ( R,S,R) forms. Some essential background and previous works in this area are presented in the first chapter. / Wu Anhui. / "August 2006." / Adviser: Henry N. C.
