Abstract
A series of metacyclophanes consisting of three aromatic rings have been pr epared. The detailed study of their conformational properties by means of t he NMR spectroscopy and the X-ray analysis confirmed the "n,m-alternate(fol ded-inwards)" and "n,m-alternate(cone-like)" conformations. Two conformers of 3a exhibited a different reactivity in demethylation by BBr3.
