title: Enantiospecific synthesis of [2.2]paracyclophane-4-thiol and derivatives.
abstract: This paper describes a simple route to enantiomerically enriched [2.2]paracyclophane-4-thiol via the stereospecific introduction of a chiral sulfoxide to the [2.2]paracyclophane skeleton. The first synthesis of an enantiomerically enriched planar chiral benzothiazole is also reported.
