[10]Cycloparaphenylene ([10]CPP) was selectively synthesized in four steps in 13% overall yield from commercially available 4,4鈥?diiodobiphenyl by using mono-I鈥揝n exchange, Sn鈥揚t transmetalation, I鈥揚d exchange, and subsequent oxidative coupling reactions. The single-crystal X-ray structure of [10]CPP is described.
