Increased sensitivity is seen in strained (n)cyclophanes, which are subjected to rare interactions in electrophilic interactions. The aromatic ring undergoes a strain which is characterized by incorporation and reorganization interactions. The early stage of the interactions omit these strains in substantial quantities. Transition-state energy is reduced by enhanced HOMO levels. Nucleophilic interactions with increased reactivity are exhibited by strained cyclophanes due to strain emissions. LUMO level nucleophilic replacement is seen in 8,11-dihalo-substituted (5)metacyclophanes, which are the tiniest isolable (n)metacyclophane products. Powerful classes which withdraw electrons do not metabolize the products, although the interaction occurs in a gentle environment.
