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.
Hemicryptophanes derived from tris(N-alkyl-carbamoylmethyl)amine and tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) have been synthesized following a single synthetic pathway.
Hemicryptophane was synthesized at the gram scale in four steps from vanillyl alcohol compared to the previous seven-step procedure. The size, shape, and functionalities of the molecular cavity were also easily modified.
