Abstract
Atroposelective synthesis of meta-disubstituted [n]paracyclophanes is a difficult task in organic chemistry. We describe a facile approach for the synthesis of meta-disubstituted [n]paracyclophanes using Pd-catalyzed enantioselective C–H olefination and sequential reductive cleavage. A wide range of [n]paracyclophanes was obtained with excellent enantioselectivity. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the rotational barrier of meta-disubstituted [n]paracyclophanes was lower than that of para-disubstituted [n]paracyclophanes. The synthesized planar-chiral [14]paracyclophane showed a bright fluorescence emission and impressive circularly polarized luminescence activity.
