In a simple, high‐yielding reaction the triple‐layered compound 2 is obtained from cyclophane 1 by Lewis acid catalyzed dimerization and subsequent aromatization of the central six‐membered ring. The reaction allows access to interesting multilayered arenes, and the intramolecular interactions of such π‐electron systems can now be studied.
