Abstract

Four novel bridge fluorinated [2.2]paracyclophanes containing naphthalene and anthracene condensed polycyclic aromatic subunits have been prepared in efficient one-step procedures from adducts obtained from the Diels-Alder reactions of mono- or bis-arynes of AF4 with benzene and naphthalene. Details of their NMR and UV spectra are provided.

The 13C NMR of anti-[2.2](1,4)anthracenophane, 8, was not obtained because of its low solubility.
