The title compounds 8 and 1 have been synthesized in three steps each from 1,2‐dibromo[2.2]paracyclophan‐1‐ene ( 2 ) and 1,2,9,10‐tetrabromo[2.2]paracyclophane‐1,9‐diene ( 4 ), respectively. Copper‐mediated coupling of vinyl bromides 2 and 4 with methyl‐ and phenylmagnesium bromide gives substituted [2.2]paracyclophanes 3‐CH 3 , 3‐Ph, 5‐CH 3 , and 5‐Ph in good yields. The high reactivity of the [2.2]paracyclophane‐1,2‐dimethylene moieties in 8 and 1 in Diels‐Alder reactions has been verified in cycloadditions with p ‐benzoquinone to give 10 and 13 and with naphthalene 1,4‐endoxide to yield 12 .
