The concept for a new class of nonplanar polyaromatic hydrocarbons — the funnelenes — is presented. Retrosynthetic considerations lead to polyphenyl‐ and oligophenylcalix[4]arenes as potential precursors. In this paper we describe the synthesis of these calixarenes and the first cyclodehydration studies on a model compound which leads to a hexabenzocoronene derivative. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
