some new macrocyclic dibenzotetraoxadiamides, tribenzotetraoxadimides, tribenzopentaoxadiamide, tribenzohexaoxadiamide, and tetrabenzoheptaoxadiamide 15-22 have been prepared. these compounds were obtained in the macrocyclization step by reacting the diamines 6 and 7 with appropriate dicarboxylic acid dichlorides 8-14. the cyclization does not require high dilution techniques or template effect...

A Cu-catalysed macrocyclisation was performed to obtain a macrocyclic coumarin-containing tripeptide for use in thrombin activity measurements.

In the title compound, C(25)H(22)Cl(2)N(2)O(4)·CH(3)OH, the macrocyclic mol-ecule adopts a slightly distorted C(2)-symmetric conformation. The macrocyclic mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amide groups into chains extending along the [010] direction. The methanol mol-ecules bridge these chains via N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the formation of a two-dimensional po...

Simple syntheses of the benzo-fused 26-membered macrocyclic bischalcone (19E,43E)-2.11.27.36-tetroxaheptacyclo[44.4.0.0(4,9).0(12,17).0(21,26).0(29,34).0(37,42)]pentaconta-1(46),4(9),5,7,12(17),13,15,19,21,23,25,29,31,33,37,39,41,43,47,49-icosaene-18,45-dione (3) and the benzo-fused 13-membered macrocyclic chalcone (19E)-2.11-dioxatetracyclo[19.4.0.0(4,9).0(12,17)]pentacosa-1(25),4(9),5,7,12(17...

The use of metal ions as templates in the synthesis of a range of macrocyclic Schiff base ligands varying in size (15-30 member atoms), in the number and nature of the potential donor atoms, and in flexibility is described. Factors controlling the course of the reactions are discussed. Open-chain intermediates have been isolated in several cases and mechanisms for the cyclizations are proposed....
