21. It was previously shown that the aromatic sulfonation of 1 with sulfur trioxide, in the presence of 1, 4-dioxane, proceeds cleanly to afford [2.2]paracyclophane-4-sulfonic acid. See ref 6.

36. Previously reported [2.2]paracyclophan-4-yl sulfoxides were synthetized using oxidation or Andersen approaches. See ref 4.
37. Crystal structures of 9 showed that the S-O bond is almost in the same plane than the arene, the oxygen atom oriented towards the ortho proton (torsional angle values between S-O and C4-C5 ranging from -8.84 to 1.8°). See Supporting Information.

39. Sulfoxide 6 was prepared in an 78% overall yield by a regioselective radical addition of thiol 2 on vinyltrimethylsilane in the presence of a catalytic amount of AIBN (1%), followed by oxidation. See Supporting Information.
40. Previously reported conformational studies involving calculations concern exclusively ethenesulfenate species. See ref 13.

44. A remarkable difference in chemical shift, resulting of the strong anisotropy of the sulfinyl group, is observed for the signal of one diastereotopic H2. It occurs in the range of 2.6-2.9 ppm in 9 but is substantially deshielded at & = 4.1-4.2 ppm in 10. See also ref 4a.
