Area of Science:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Synthetic Methodology

Background:

  • Benzimidazolidinone cyclophanes are macrocyclic compounds with unique structural and chemical properties.
  • Developing efficient synthetic routes to novel cyclophane architectures is crucial for exploring their potential applications.
  • The Stevens rearrangement is a known method for C-S bond cleavage and C-C bond formation, but its application in macrocycle synthesis, particularly for benzimidazolidinones, requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize new benzimidazolidinone cyclophanes utilizing a double Stevens rearrangement.
  • To explore the efficacy of the double Stevens rearrangement as a ring expansion technique for heterophane synthesis.
  • To characterize the newly synthesized cyclophane structures.

Main Methods:
