An efficient and convergent route towards water-soluble, chiral and amphiphilic macrocycles

Bhattacharyya, Tapes and Nilsson, Ulf J. LU (2001) In Tetrahedron Letters 42(15). p.2873-2875
Abstract
A practical procedure for the synthesis of water-soluble, chiral and
amphiphilic macrocyclic molecules is described. Acylation of p-xylylene diamine with Fmoc-protected glycine and aspartic acid, followed by removal of the Fmoc moiety afforded amino acid:p-xylene
conjugates as free diamines. These diamines were converted to
symmetrical and unsymmetrical macrocycles via stepwise urea formation
using p-nitrophenyl chloroformate.
