Abstract: A series of novel chiral imidazolium cyclophanes were synthesized from natural amino acids. (S)-2-(1-Imidazolyl)alkanoates(2) were prepared by cyclization and esterification. In the presence of DMAP and Et3N. Alkanoates(2) reacted with ethylenediamine to yield compounds 3 with satisfactory yields. Compounds 3 reacted with 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)-4-chlorphenol, 1,3-bis(bromomethyl)benzene or 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine to afford dibromide salts under high dilution and anhydrous condition. Finally, the hexafluorophosphates (46) were obtained by treating the corresponding dibromide salts with a saturated aqueous solution of NH4PF6. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, MS, HRMS, and elemental analysis. These compounds featured large cavities and multipoint binding sites. UV spectroscopic titration experiments showed these chiral imidazolium cyclophanes exhibited good enantioselective recognition toward L- and D-amino acids and their derivatives.
