A bidirectional tunnel-like structure with a rigid, thick, and chiral aromatic macrocycle prepared by self-complementary 6,6'-substituted binaphthyl monomer
A rigid, thick, and optically active aromatic macrocycle having 6,6-binaphthylylene moieties was successfully obtained in a moderate yield by synthesis and SNAr of 6-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-6'-hydroxy-2,2'-dimethoxy-1,1'-binaphthyl. The X-ray crystal structural analysis of the obtained macrocycle reveals rigid concavo-concave shape of the molecule and the bidirectional tunnel-like structure assembly consisting of two types of channels along a axis and c axis originated by intra- and intermolecular cavities, respectively.
