- neglected so far. Functional groups in pseudo-geminally substituted [2.2]paracyclophanes often undergo highly specific reactions. This is due to the rigid framework and the short distance between the two aromatic rings within the [2.2]paracyclophane unit. Thus, unsaturated cyclophane bis(esters) undergo

Although unexpected, the lack of tetrahalides from these experiments proved later to be of significant

- -containing functionalities are rather rare. For instance, the photoextrusion of sulfur dioxide was carried out to facilitate the preparation of cyclophane derivatives [15]. The photochemistry of the corresponding cyclic sulfite esters is even less well known [16][17][18]. A report on the photochemistry of
