Notes:
In this paper we report on amide rotaxanes with tetrabenzoylglucose stoppers. When acetyl groups are used instead of benzoyl groups, merely a pseudo-rotaxane 5 is obtained. The circular dichroism measurements of the rotaxanes 6a and 6b differ significantly from that one of the free axle 7. Similarly, the Cotton effects of the mixtures of achiral wheels 2a and 2b and chiral axle indicate intermolecular host-guest interactions, likewise. After an addition of a solution of NaOMe the wheel is slipping off immediately and quantitatively by hydrolysis, as the benzoylglucose stoppers decrease in size by hydrolysis.
