The first example of a pseudo-ortho metallation on [2.2]paracyclophane is presented, giving easy access to enantiopure compounds of this type. By slight modification of the directing group, metallation of the ortho- and C2-positions is possible. The mechanism was further investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

The enantiomers of a new cyclic oligothiophene, bridged by two pseudo-ortho[2.2]paracyclophanes, were synthesized as a new class of the chiral π-conjugated system. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a twisted structure for these oligothiophenes induced by a torsion of the cyclophane moieties.
