A straightforward method for the synthesis of two dibenzo[a,h]anthracene-5,6,12,13-diquinone building blocks is reported. To showcase their usefulness, a series of dibenzo[a,h]anthracene nitrogenated derivatives have been synthesized that show different optoelectronic, redox, and charge transport properties, illustrating their potential as organic semiconductors.
