Samarium(II) Diiodide Mediated Coupling of Bis(bromomethyl)arenes. Facile Synthesis of n>Cyclophanes without using High-Dilution Techniques

In the presence of samarium(II) diiodide (Sml2), coupling of 1,3- and 1,4-bis(bromomethyl)benzenes proceeds smoothly to give their cyclic and acyclic oligomers.Use of 1.2 equiv. of Sml2 gives 1,2-bis(3- and 4-bromomethylphenyl)ethanes, respectively, in 95percent yield, and the use of 5.0 equiv. of Sml2 affords n>metacyclophanes and n>paracyclpphanes (n = 2, 3 and 4), respectively, in satisfactory yields.By using 5.0 equiv. of Sml2, 2-bromo- and 2-methoxy-1,4-bis(bromomethyl)benzenes and 1,4- and 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)naphthalenes each give only one of several expected isomeric cyclophanes as the major cyclic oligomer.
