✦ Synopsis
Cyclotrimerization reactions of the 9-protected 6-ethynylpurines 4a,b in the presence of various transition metal catalysts were studied. The best results were obtained with Ni(COD) 2 or Ni(COD) 2 /PPh 3 to obtain the 1,2,4-and 1,3,5-tris(purin-6-yl)benzenes 5a,b and 6a,b in moderate to good yields (in a 4:1 to 10:1 ratio). This method is suitable for the practical synthesis of the unsymmetrical 1,2,4-tris(purin-6-yl)benzenes 5a-c, while the symmetrical 1,3,5-tris(purin-6-yl)benzenes 6a,b are generally formed as minor products.

## Abstract The 3,5‐bis(5‐carboxy‐6‐azauracil‐1‐yl)aniline (**7**) and 1,3,5‐tris(5‐carboxy‐6‐azauracil‐1‐yl)benzene (**10**) were prepared from 3‐amino‐5‐nitroacetanilide (**1**) __via__ intermediates **2–6**. A series of other substituted 6‐azauracil derivatives **9, 11‐14** were also prepared.
Described herein is a cobalt-mediated cyclooligomerization of mono-and di(6-azulenyl)acetylenes to afford 1,3,5-and 1,2,4-tri(6-azulenyl)benzene derivatives and (h 5 -cyclopentadienyl)[tetra-and di(6-azulenyl)cyclobutadiene]cobalt complexes. The redox behavior of these novel tri(6-azulenyl)benzene d
