A simple synthetic route to tetrabenzo[16]‐ and hexabenzo[24]annulene systems using one‐pot multiple Wittig reactions is presented. We report the characterization of the all‐ trans ‐isomer of tetrabenzo[16]annulene by NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction. Several isomers of an unexpected, tetrabenzocyclooctatetraene dimer product are also isolated and identified by NMR‐ and X‐ray diffraction studies.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
