This thesis is concerned with understanding and further developing the chemistry of [2.2]paracyclophane, and is divided into three main sections. The first section is a review of the methods to synthesize aryl substituted [2.2]paracyclophanes. This is followed by a discussion section focusing on the development of planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane based triazolium salts, DMAP and benzimidazole derivatives, and their potential applications as enantioselective nucleophilic organocatalysts.
