We report the synthesis of a novel class of planar chiral bidentate aryl[2.2]paracyclophane ligands. For the first time in the [2.2]paracyclophanyl series the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling was employed for the formation of the arylparacyclophanyl skeleton. From the two possible approaches: (a) cross-coupling of [2.2]paracyalophanylboronic acids with aryl halides; (b) cross-coupling of [2.2]paracyclophanyl
