Abstract

The Baylis-Hillman reaction of dialdehydes with methyl acrylate, followed by acetylation of the resulting diols gave diacetates 3, 14, 16 and 20. Treated with ammonia, these diacetates afforded new cyclophanes and the corresponding macrobicyclic cryptophanes. Conformational analysis of the cyclophanes was described.
