Twisted Allenyl-Pyridocyclophanes by Templated Cyclooligomerization: Chiral Cavities for Precision Molecular Recognition
{{output}}
We report the palladium-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of enantiopure 20-, 30-, and 40-membered cyclophanes shaped by axially twisted allene units. Under Cs+-template, the two smaller macrocycles (2 and 3) are favored over the largest (4). X-ray studies reveal th... ...
