Abstract

The synthesis of molecular cages, belts and strips opens up new areas of technology for exploitation. Solvent specific sensors are one possible use of cage molecules called carcerands (see figure). A series of Diels Alder reactions under tight stereochemical control are used in a remarkably efficient manner to produce the structures. (Figure Presented.)
