Notes:
Hydrogen-donor and hydrogen-acceptor substituted chiral cyclophanes with a [2](1,3)benzeno[2](3,5)pyridinophane framework have been synthesized, enantiomerically separated, and analysed by circular dichroism (CD). X-ray structure determination and CD analyses show that these cyclophanes are able to act as hydrogen-bonding donor/acceptor building blocks for the design of chiral supramolecular aggregates with suitable complementary partners. Starting from the pyridinophane N-oxide 4, selective reactions lead to the new chiral pyridinophanes 5-7 in high yields. The X-ray structure analysis of the pyridinophane-2-carbonitrile 5 reveals a multilayered herringbone structure as it forms dimeric aggregates. The CD analysis of the host 7 with the complementary guest molecules melamine and cyanuric acid elucidates the formation of supramolecular complexes in solution.
