Published: June 2004

[reaction: see text] The regioselective functionalization of 4,12-dibromoparacyclophane via electrophilic aromatic substitution is reported for the first time. The functionalization of the paracyclophane backbone allows the development of a new family of paracyclophane-based phosphines (named ParaPhos) that opens the possibility of improved catalyst development and tuning while retaining all the catalysis potential of the PhanePhos family of ligands.
