and convenient protocol for the synthesis of hexahydroxy[2.1.2.1.2.1]- and octahydroxy[2.1.2.1.2.1.2.1]metacyclophanes from 4-substituted phenol in four steps has been developed. The synthetic route involved the preparation of the key intermediate 1,2-bis(5-substituted-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanes in good yields via (i) formylation of 4-substituted phenol, (ii) reductive deoxygenation of 5-substituted 2-hydroxy
