Highly efficient one-pot synthesis of hetero-sequenced shape-persistent macrocycles through orthogonal dynamic covalent chemistry (ODCC)

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 May 14;49(39):4418-20. doi: 10.1039/c2cc33078d.

Abstract

A series of hetero-sequenced shape-persistent macrocycles with different shape, size, and backbone (functional group) symmetry have been synthesized through one-pot orthogonal dynamic covalent chemistry (ODCC) in good to excellent yields from readily accessible starting materials.
