Additions of organodilithium reagents to dialdehydes allow for construction of [1.1. 1. ljmetacyclo-phane macrocycle in~ 40% yield in the ring forming step, without resort to standard highdilution techniques. The present methodology is complementary to the conventional condensations leading to phenol-and resorcinol-based cyclotetramers.[1.1. 1.1 jMetacyclophane 1 macrocycle is a parent structure to calix [4] arenes 2 and calix [4] resorcinarenes 3, which are widely studied as complex forming agents with relevance to enzymes and receptors. 1, 2 Their synthesis relies on the aromatic electrophilic substitution-based ring forming steps, followed by functional group transformations. 3-11Now we report a synthesis of a [1.1. 1.1 jmetacyclophane macrocycle, based on addition of organodilithium re-agents to dialdehydes. In particular, we describe the synthesis and solid state structure of tetrabromo-substituted [1.1. 1.1 jmetacyclophane 8 (Scheme 1 and Figure 1), which isnot readily available using conven-tional synthetic routes relying on electrophilic aromatic substitution. The synthetic methods leading to 8 should make feasible rational construction of novel cages and two-dimensional networks, relevant to novel approaches to materials. 12
