Abstract:
The facile preparation of macrocyclic ethers is achieved using S[subscript N]Ar reactions of (dichlorobenzene)CpFe[superscript +) complexes with various dinucleophiles, followed by photolytic demetallation; X-ray crystallography gives unequivocal structural proof for one of these macrocycles.
