Abstract: The title compound [systematic name: 1²-amino-4²-(1-naphthyl)-1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclohexaphane], C₂₆H₂₃N, was synthesized from 4-amino-13-bromo-[2,2]paracyclophane and 1-naphthaleneboronic acid in the presence of 1,4-dioxane. It is a new cyclophane-derived compound which can be regarded as a prospective ligand for asymmetric synthesis and catalysis. The benzene rings of the paracyclophane units are very slightly deformed from planarity as shallow boats.
