Abstract
We report a high-yield synthesis of 3,5,17,19-tetrakis (4'-alkylbenzoy l)-1,8,15,22-tetrathia[1.1.1.1] metacyclophanes 7([1]) via condensatio n of dithioresorcinols 3 with benzoyl substituted meta-dichlorobenzene s 6. The underlying reaction mechanism is discussed. The solid-state s tructure of the macrocycle and the reduction properties of 7 have also been investigated.
