Abstract
Both aromatic rings in [2.2]metacyclophanes(MCPs) can be easily nitrated in good yields by using the HNO~3~/dichloromethane system under mild conditions. This facile method is clearly superior to the nitration by strong nitrating agents such as nitronium tetrafluoroborate. Partial reduction of dinitro[2.2]MCP (2a) affords the intriguing aminonitro[2.2]MCP (3) which is one of the ultimate models of intramolecular chargeβtransfer interaction. Compound 3 shows a significant bathochromic shift due to throughβspace interaction between two aromatic rings.
