The synthesis of a new family of methoxy‐substituted [2.7]‐ and [2.8]paracyclophanes linked by 3‐oxapentamethylene‐1,5‐dioxy and hexamethylene‐1,6‐dioxy bridges has been carried out by using the McMurry methodology. Related indole compounds were also synthesised. Olefin‐to‐diol ratios depended on the bridge length, the structure of the aromatic ring and the reaction conditions. Macrocyclisation, the
