Abstract

The macrocycle 1 reacts with benzynes to give the Diels-Alder tetra-adduct 11 as a single isomer in good yields. Its mode of formation has now been investigated and its stereochemistry confirimed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Benzynes react with 1 stepwise with high regio and facial selectivity. Only the mono-adduct 2 could be aromatised to the furanaphthaphane 17, and its conformational behaviour has been investigated by means of dynamic ¹H NMR spectroscopy and by single crystal X-ray analysis. The tetra-adduct 11 exhibits molecular recognition in the solid state selectively entrapping p-xylene when crystallised from a mixture of xylenes.
