The reductive cleavage of the title compounds 1 with diisobutylaluminium hydride in refluxing benzene or toluene affords, after hydrolysis, pyrocatechol derivatives 8 and a mixture of alkenes 6 and alkanes 7.When the reaction is performed at room temperature, the pyrocatechol monoalkyl ethers 4 are obtained after hydrolysis.Starting from the precatenane 9, the catenane 12 having a 22-membered macroheterocycle is synthesised in a reaction sequence of several steps.
