Construction of Novel Host Molecules by Structural Modification of Hydrindacenehexaamide Receptor

Abstract

We previously reported that the hydrindacenehexaamide receptor shows an excellent assembly capability for resorcinols. We report here our attempts to construct novel macrocycle host molecules by structural modification of hydrindacenehexaamide receptor. We prepared receptor building block that has formyl groups working as a connecting group at 2, 6-positions of hydrindacene unit. We are now preparing novel macrocycles consisting of several the hydrindecene receptors and diamino-spacer units by forming linking imine bonds.
