A series of [n] paracyclophanediols (n= 8-12) was synthesized by samarium-catalyzed pinacol coupling for their ansa-bridge formation. Enantiomerically pure [n] paracyclophane esters were derived from the diols in a several steps via chiral resolution (for n= 10) or via crystallization-induced asymmetric transformation (for n= 11) by using amino alcohol auxiliaries and their selective cleavages.
