Six of the best: Benzene had been used by Faraday and Mitscherlich in their respective synthesis of hexachloro- and hexabromocyclohexane in the early 19th century. Also starting from benzene, η-1,2,3,4,5,6- hexafluorocyclohexane (benzene hexafluoride; see X-ray structure of a dimer) was now synthesized in five steps. Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
