Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Organic Synthesis

Background:

  • Cavitands are molecular hosts with a defined cavity.
  • Functionalization of cavitands is crucial for developing new materials and applications.
  • Previous methods for synthesizing complex cavitands can be multi-step and inefficient.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient synthetic route for derivatized cavitand bowls.
  • To prepare the first example of an all-carbon linked bis-bowl cavitand.
  • To introduce a new class of inherently chiral cavitands.

Main Methods:

  • Selective lithium/halogen exchange on cavitand precursors.
  • Electrophile quenching to introduce derivatizable groups at the rim.
  • Single-step synthesis of bis-bowl and chiral cavitands.

Main Results:

  • Efficient preparation of cavitand bowls with two derivatizable rim groups.
  • Successful synthesis of the first all-carbon linked bis-bowl cavitand.
  • Demonstration of a new route to inherently chiral cavitands.

Conclusions:

  • The developed lithium/halogen exchange-electrophile quenching methodology is highly effective for cavitand functionalization.
  • This method enables the streamlined synthesis of complex cavitand architectures, including bis-bowls and chiral variants.
  • The findings open new avenues for the design and application of tailored molecular hosts.
