Heteroatomic bridged paracyclophanes were obtained by two independent synthetic approaches. The required precursors consist of para R SiCl (R = Me, iPr) substituted aromatic rings (2 and 4). They were subsequently functionalised by using NH , [LiPH (dme)] or LiAl(PH ) . In the case of the Me-substituted species 2, the reaction with NH directly yielded the Si N bridged paracyclophane 5.
