Abstract
Nitration of octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane (OFP) provides an entry into the synthesis of a series of 11 monosubstituted OFPs, including the nitro, amino, chloro, bromo, iodo, hydroxy, and trifluoromethyl compounds. The NMR, mass spectrometric, and UV spectral properties of all of these derivatives are presented and discussed, and they are compared with those of its hydrocarbon analogue, [2.2]paracyclophane.
