Abstract

A macrocyclic host molecule having pyridine-pyridone-pyridine modules for saccharide recognition was prepared by Cu(II)-mediated oxidative homocoupling of a tandem diethynyl precursor. In CH2Cl2, the host molecule associated with dodecyl β-maltoside much more strongly (K a = 1.4 × 106 M-1) than with octyl monohexosides (Ka = ca. 2 × 103 to 1 × 10 4 M-1), accompanied with induced CDs. An all-pyridine macrocyclic host was also studied, and its binding strength with saccharides was weaker than that for the pyridine-pyridone-pyridine host.
