Synthesis of chiral, amphiphilic, and water-soluble chiral macrocycles via urea formation.

Bhattacharyya, T ; Sundin, Anders LU and Nilsson, Ulf LU (2003) In Tetrahedron 59(40). p.7921-7928
Abstract
A simple, efficient, and flexible procedure for the synthesis of chiral, amphiphilic, and water-soluble macrocycles is reported. Acylation of p-xylylenediamine with N-Fmoc-protected glycine, -aspartic acid, -glutamic acid, and -arginine, followed by removal of Fmoc-groups, gave amino acid:p-xylylene conjugate diamines, which were converted to ten macrocycles via stepwise urea formation using p-nitrophenyl chloroformate. -Aspartic acid-containing macrocyles proved to be soluble in aqueous buffers and a macrocycle containing four aspartate residues was found to recognize arginine and arginine esters with moderate affinity.
