The syntheses of 2,2'-bithiazole-containing and related expanded macrocycles 13-16 were accomplished by the McMurry coupling reaction of the corresponding [2,2'-bithiazole]-5,5'-dicarbaldehyde 6c and 2,2'-(1,4- phenylene)bis[thiazole-5-carbaldehyde] 7, readily available by a two-step reaction sequence. The success of the dimerization strongly depends on the steric repulsion of the substituents vicinal to the CHO group.
