C2-Symmetric hexahelicenes 3a–3g, which bear four or six alkoxy chains, were prepared in eight-to-nine reaction steps in high overall yields. The final step consisted of a twofold oxidative photocyclization of the corresponding 2,7-bis(2-phenylethenyl)naphthalenes. Long (and branched) chains provide a good solubility and processability, which is a prerequisite for applications in organic synthesis and materials science.
