Abstract

Oligoamide macrocycles consisting of eight meta-linked benzene residues were synthesized based on the cyclization of aromatic oligoamide precursors having folded backbones rigidified by three-center hydrogen bonds. An alternative route based on the condensation of pentadimeric diamine and trimeric diacid provided the cyclic octamer in 75% yield using EDCI/HOBt as the coupling reagent.
