Hexaphenylbenzene is an aromatic compound composed of a benzene ring substituted with six phenyl rings. It is a colorless solid. The compound is the parent member of a wider class of hexaarylbenzenes, which are mainly of theoretical interest.
==Preparation== It is prepared by heating tetraphenylcyclopentadienone and diphenylacetylene in benzophenone or other high-temperature solvent. The reaction proceeds via a Diels–Alder reaction to give the hexaphenyldienone, which then eliminates carbon monoxide. 500px|Hexaphenylbenzene synthesis
