Abstract

Bambus[6]urils and biotin[6]urils are macrocycles with an exceptional affinity for inorganic anions. Here, we investigated statistical condensation of 2,4-dibenzylglycoluril and d-biotin, monomers of the corresponding macrocycles, to prepare the enantiomerically pure macrocycle 1 containing a single d-biotin and five glycoluril units. Host-guest properties of 1 in chloroform solution and solid state were investigated. The macrocycle 1 bearing a single functional group was employed in the formation of [1]rotaxane utilizing reversible covalent bonds.
