Hemicryptophanes: Catalysis and molecular recognition
Atrane Hemicryptophane-metal complexes
Our goal is to introduce a highly reactive site inside the cavity of a hemicryptophane host in order to perform catalysis in confined space. Thus, cage compounds bearing endohedral functionalities have been obtained and display outstanding properties
Hemicryptophanes Synthesis
We develop the synthesis of new hemicryptophane cage compounds with various size, shape and functionalities inside the cavity. Moreover, large scale syntheses of these host molecules are also performed.
Resolution of Hemicryptophanes
Here, we focus on the resolution of hemicryptophane, since their synthesis, most of times, afford racemic mixture. This allows us to report the efficient and enantioselective recognition of carbohydrates.
Recognition with Hemicryptophanes
This thematic deals with the recognition of guest molecules in the cavity of hemicryptophane hosts. Depending on the size and shape of the cage compound, zwitterions, ion pairs, ammoniums or carbohydrates can be recognized.
Synthesis of new Hemicryptophanes
Nous étudions ici les propriétés de reconnaissance des hémicryptophanes. En fonction de la taille, de la forme et des fonctions présentent au sein de la cavité, ces structures cages peuvent complexer les paires d’ions, les zwitterions, les ammoniums ou encore les carbohydrates.
