Various [2.2] metacyclophanes were prepared from the corresponding benzene derivatives by using the feri-butyl group as a positional protective function and their nitrations were carried out under various conditions. It was found that nitration of 8, 16-dimethyl [2.2] metacyclophane with fuming HN03 afforded only 5-nitro-8, 16-di-methyl [2.2] metacyclophane but not 5, 13-dinitro-8, 16-dimethyl [2.2] metacyclophane. 5-Iodo-13-nitro-8, 16-dimethyl [2.2] metacyclophane was obtained by nitration of 5-iodo-and 5, 13-diiodo-8, 16-dimethyl [2.2] metacyclophane. It was also found that nitration of the [2.2] metacyclophanes having methoxy groups at internal positions 5 and/or13 afforded the corresponding tetrahydropyrenes. The reaction mechanisms of theabove reactions are also described.Although many [2.2] metacyclophanes and related com-pounds were prepared and these compounds havebeen worthy of remark among organic chemists, 2 there are few investigation about their chemical natures. Recently, we reported that3 bromination of 8, 16-dimethyl [2.2] meta-cyclophane (la)(MCP= metacyclophane) with bromine in the presence or absence of Fe powder as a catalyst afforded different types of products, 2 or 3, and that sim-ilar reactions of 5, 13-di-teri-butyl-8, 16-dimethyl [2.2] MCP (lb) also gave different types of products, 4 or 5. It was also found that3 bromination of both la and lb with NBS afforded the corresponding bis (bromomethyl)[2.2] MCPs 6a and 6b (Scheme I).
