Abstract

Two new macrocycles possessing planar chirality were efficiently synthesized and resolved into enantiomers employing HPLC. CD spectra of 11 and 12 confirm their enantiomeric relationship and chiral stability.

11

General Procedure for Synthesis of Macrocyclic Compounds 10-12: To a mixture of appropriate ester (5 mmol) and appropriate amine (5 mmol) in anhyd MeOH (60 mL) was added solution of MeONa (12.5 mmol) in anhyd MeOH (50 mL). The mixture was left at r.t. for several hours (monitored by TLC). The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography.
