Abstract

A novel and effective method for the synthesis of conjugated macrocycles is described. By the self-assembly of conveniently accessible building blocks to a metalla-macrocycle, and subsequent C–C bond formation through elimination of transition metal units, the strained cyclodimeric terthiophene-diyne 4 -as a precursor for cyclo[8]thiophene 5- was synthesized in a good overall yield.
