Successive Catalytic Cyclization via the Intermediary Formation of Pseudorotaxane Structure

Abstract

This study features successive reaction with palladium-templated macrocyclic catalyst. When a linear molecule having allylurethane was treated with the Pd-containing macrocycle, the successive cyclization reactions were achieved as a result of the translation of the macrocycle along the linear molecule by taking pseudorotaxane structure. The broad scope and limitation of the catalytic reaction were also examined.
