Treatment of perhydro[2.2]paracyclophane ( 1 ) with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid for 15 h at room temperature in dichloromethane results in a quantitative yield of stereoisomer 2 , in which one of the bridgehead hydrogen atoms points towards the inside of the molecule (mono‐ endo isomer). The constitution of 2 is derived from 2D‐NMR C,C‐INADE‐QUATE experiments and its stereochemistry from dynamic NMR experiments and molecular mechanics computations (MM3). A mechanism is suggested for the 1–2 interconversion.
