Abstract

The oxidative cycloaddition of 3,4-dibromo-[n](2,5)thiophenophanes 12b-e and (2,4)[8]thiophenophane 16 with dienophiles gave stereoselectively O=S-bridged cycloadducts 18, 19 and 24. The X-ray analysis of cycloadduct 18a shows it to have a rigid conformation. The molecules can be regarded as a new series of paddlanes. Under the same oxidative conditions, 3,4-dibromo-[8](2,5)thiophenophane (12a) gave the two dimers 29 and 30. The results of the X-ray analysis of 29 are discussed.
