Novel template effect for the preparation of [2]rotaxanes with functionalised centre pieces.
A novel anion-templated synthesis permits the preparation of [2]rotaxanes with a tetralactam wheel through which axles are threaded that are functionalised at their center pieces; the wheel protects these groups efficiently against modifications.
