Synthesis of new orthocyclophane hosts has been investigated by the acid-catalysed intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cycloalkylation of terminal benzylbenzylic alcohols that bear repeating benzyl chains.Treatment of 2-(2-benzylbenzyl)benzyl alcohol 6 with concentrated sulfuric acid in acetic acid medium gave rise to a cyclisation product, orthocyclophane 2.Similar cyclisation behaviour was observed under the same reaction conditions by the use of diterminal benzylbenzylic diols, which provided a common-nuclear bisorthocyclophane.Treatment of a solution of either the α,ω-benzylic diols 1,3-bisbenzyl>benzene 16 in acetic acid or the 1,4-isomer 20 in acetic acid-dimethyl sulfoxide with concentrated sulfuric acid provided heptacyclo3,19.05,10.012,17.023,28.030,35>hexatriaconta-1(21),2,5(10),6,8,12(17),13,15,19,23(28),24,26,30(35),31,33-pentadecaene 3 which is the first member of a family of novel biscyclophanes.
