Org Lett. 2012 Jul 6;14(13):3284-7. doi: 10.1021/ol301242t. Epub 2012 Jun 18.

Abstract

[10]Cycloparaphenylene ([10]CPP) was selectively synthesized in four steps in 13% overall yield from commercially available 4,4'-diiodobiphenyl by using mono-I-Sn exchange, Sn-Pt transmetalation, I-Pd exchange, and subsequent oxidative coupling reactions. The single-crystal X-ray structure of [10]CPP is described.
