Abstract

(Aza)_n[3ⁿ]cyclophanes are synthesized by the N-alkylation of diethyl phosphoramidates with bis(bromomethyl)arenes under phase-transfer conditions or anhydrous conditions in the presence of an appropriate base. The method affords N-(diethoxyphosphoryl)(aza)_n[3ⁿ]cyclophanes in moderate yields and can be applied to the synthesis of various types of azacyclophanes. The N-phosphorylated cyclophanes are highly soluble in organic solvents and the diethoxyphosphoryl groups are readily cleaved under acidic conditions to give the corresponding secondary amines.

Key words

cyclophanes - phosphorylations - amines - host-guest systems - macrocycles
