Abstract
2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorobenzyl and 3,5-bistrifluoromethylbenzyl ester auxiliaries can enable difficult macrocyclizations to afford rigid all-carbon paracyclophanes. The effectiveness of these auxiliaries has been demonstrated in preparing the carbon skeleton of the macrocyclic natural product longithorone C.
