Abstract

Applying sequential Diels-Alder cycloaddition and deoxygenation to small π-conjugated furan macrocycles fully converts them to 1,4-naphthalophanes with either ethylene or acetylene spacers, depending on the reaction conditions. 1,4-Napthalenophane tetraene exhibits a 1,3-alternating conformation in the solid state, inclusion of solvent molecules within the macrocycle, and low reduction potentials.
