The name “superphane” has already been used —it would have been appropriate for the title compound! The first triple‐decker phane containing six bridges was synthesized (in a single cyclization step) starting from the three layers. Two isomeric triple‐decker phanes were isolated. One of these is helically chiral; it could be separated chromatographically to give the stable enantiomers— 1 and its mirror image.
