Synthesis and structural study of thiacyclophanes utilizing dibromides and methane dithiolate.
The synthesis of a series of thiacyclophanes and optically active binaphthol-based chiral thiacyclophanes is reported with XRD structure. Two diastereomeric tetrathiacyclophanes are designed and synthesized. The two diastereomers are evidenced by crystal structure; the single-crystal X-ray studies reveal that one of the isomers possesses an inherent property of self-assembling into a vertical stack of tunnel-like structures.
