Efficient Synthesis of Parallel Cyclobolaphiles Having Two Diacetylenes: Mimetics of Archaeal Membrane Lipids

Abstract

Chiral 48-membered parallel cyclobolaphiles and their diastereomer having two diacetylenes were efficiently synthesized by utilizing both the selective deprotection and the cross-coupling method of two distinct acetylenic compounds.

archaeal lipid - diacetylene - chirality - parallel cyclo­bolaphile - mimetics

While amphiphiles having a macrocyclic ring as a hydrophobic segment have been termed ‘macrocyclic bolaamphiphiles’ (see Ref. [2a] ), we prefer to adopt the abbreviated and more readily pronounceable term, ‘cyclobolaphile’.

Intense examination of macrocyclic synthetic methods that have been previously reported indicates that only our strategy has the potential to provide three stereoisomers of parallel cyclobolaphiles that contain diacetylene units (see Ref. [1c] [d] [2] ).
