Abstract
Dewar benzenes 1 and 3 are appropriate precursors of small [n] cyclophanes(n<8): in fact the complete skeleton of the cyclophane is present and the high energy content of the Dewar benzene system is available to compensate for any strain and instability in 2 or 4 which might tend to jeopardize the transformation.
