A simple one-pot synthesis of amidopiperazinophanes with a combination of electron-deficient
amide groups and electron-rich alkyne and piperazine functionalities has been achieved
by using multicomponent reaction (MCR) methodology with the Mannich reaction. Herein,
we demonstrate the synthesis of macrocyclic amide structures in good yields. These
macrocycles, with electron donor/acceptor sites, are versatile molecules for host–guest
and binding.
