Abstract

The Dieckmann condensation under conditions of high dilution has been used with methyl esters of m-benzenedialkanoic acids. The products, metacyclophanes with carbonyl groups at the centers of the meta bridges, are described. The particular meta-bridged compounds are 3 (n= 2, 3, 4) and a derivative of 2 (n= 4).
