title: A facile one-pot synthesis of a new cryptand via a Pd(II)-catalysed carbonylation reaction.
abstract: We report the facile and efficient synthesis of a novel cryptand using a one-pot method involving a Pd(II)-catalysed carbonylation reaction. The crystal structure of the corresponding Cu(II) cryptate is also described.
