1. The methylene-bridged aromatic compounds in this study are named using the rules described by B. H. Smith in “Bridged Aromatic Compounds,” Academic Press, New York, N. Y., 1964.
2. There does not exist a universally aocepted method for the naming of such compounds; cf. F. Vogtle and P. Newmann, Tetrahedron, 26, S847 (1970). Chemical Abstracts' name for 3b, for example, is 15-bromo-20-chloro-3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12-decahydro-2,13-metheno-13H-l-naphtho[1,2-b]azacyclopentadecene.
3. The pyridinophane ring is asymmetric since the methylene bridge cannot flip to the opposite face. Cf. W. E. Parham, R. W. Davenport, and J. B. Biasotti, Tetrahedron Lett., 557 (1969);

21. R. E. Lutz, et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 68, 1813 (1946), reported that 2,8-disubstituted quinolines do not lead to stable hydrobromides, presumably for steric reasons.

24. It has been shown (ref 3) that substituents on the α-methylene carbon atom in the pyridinophane structure are resistant to SN1 and SN2 reactions, and it has been suggested that steric factors do not favor stabilization of a developing carbonium ion (sp2 carbon) at this center. Similarly, one would not expect carbanions to be easily formed at this position. D. J. Cram and L. A. Singer, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 85, 1084 (1963), have shown that, as the ring size in paracyclophanes is decreased, the acidity of benzylic methylene is decreased.
