Popis: Reaction of a dithiol with B(OH)3 and base in MeOH followed by reaction with xylylene dibromides proceeds selectively to give the corresponding ortho, meta or para-cyclophanes in good yield (70-86 %). The syntheses of examples of all three types of benzenophanes are discussed. The molecular structures of 3,8-dibenzo-1,6-dithiacyclodecane (8) and 2,5,8-trithia-(9)-p-benzenophane (5) have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data for 8: space group P2(1)/c with a=8.2745(10), b=4.9330(10), c=16.5500(12) A, beta=100.37 (1)-degrees, Z=2; R=0.043 (R(w)=0.045) for 949 reflections (I>2.5 sigma (I)). Crystal data for 5 (150K): Space group P2(1)/c with a=10.310(1), b=7.430 (1), c=17.681(2) A, beta=113.27(1)-degrees, Z=4; R=0.065 (R(w)=0.065) for 1969 reflections (I>2.5 sigma(I)).
