Graphical Abstract

The smallest isoiable paracyclophane, the title compound 1, was obtained by thermal valence isomerization of the Dewar benzene isomer 2. The 1H-NMR and, in particular, the UV spectra indicate that the benzene ring in 1 deviates much more strongly from planarity than in [6]paracyclophane.
