Synthesis of a (D 3)-bis(cyclotriveratrylenyl) macrocage by stereospecific replication of a (C 3)-subunit

Abstract

(D₃)-Bis(cyclotriveratrylenyl)(4), has been synthesized in racemic and optically active forms by stereo-specific replication of a (C₃)-subunit; the absolute configuration of (+)-(4) was assigned from that of the (C₃)-precursor.
