Abstract

An efficient and modular synthesis of a chiral, amphiphilic, and fluorescent macrocycle is described. A bis-acetylene was prepared by coupling the amino group of a sugar delta-amino acid with a glutamic acid propargylic amide derivative, followed by coupling of the sugar delta-amino acid carboxy group with a glutamic acid propiolyl amide. The bis-acetylene was reacted with 9,10-bis(azidomethyl)anthracene under Cu(I) catalysis to afford the target fluorescent macrocycle.
