Direct oxidative coupling is an attractive tool for environmentally benign green chemistry. We report the novel oxidative synthesis of hexahydroxytriphenylene by using a hypervalent iodine reagent. The reaction proceeds under very mild conditions for reducing acid waste and in a very short time at room temperature.
