✦ Synopsis


Reaction of a dithiol with B(OH) 3 and base in MeOH followed by reaction with xylylene dibromides proceeds selectively to give the corresponding ortho, mete or pare-cyclophanes in good yield (70-86 %). The syntheses of examples of all three types of benzenophanes are discussed. The molecular structures of 3,8-dibenzo-1,6-dithlacyclodecane (8) and 2,5,8-trithia-(9)-u-benzenonhane (5) have been determined by X-ray crystallography; Crystal data f&--8: space group P21/c with a=8.2745(10), b=4.9330(10), c=16.5500(12) A, 8=100.37 (l)", z=2; R=O.O43 (R,=O.OQS) for 949 reflections (1>2.50(1)). Crystal data for 5 (150K): Space group P2Jc with a=10.310(1), b=7.430
