A new type of planarchiral (Rp)‐ and (Sp)‐4,7,12,15‐tetrasubstituted [2.2]paracyclophanes was prepared from racemic 4,7,12,15‐tetrabromo[2.2]paracyclophane as the starting substrate. Regioselective lithiation and transformations afforded racemic bis‐(para)‐pseudo‐meta‐type [2.2]paracyclophane (4,15‐dibromo‐7,12‐dihydroxy[2.2]paracyclophane). Its optical resolution was performed by the diastereomer
We achieved opticalresolution of 4,7,12,15-tetrasubstituted [2.2]paracyclophane and subsequent transformation to planarchiral building blocks. An optically active propeller-shaped macrocyclic compound containing a planarchiral cyclophane core was synthesized, showing excellent chiroptical properties such as high fluorescence quantum efficiency and a large circularly polarized luminescence dissymmetry
