Efficient catenane synthesis by cucurbit[6]uril-mediated azide–alkyne cycloaddition

We report here the efficient synthesis of a series of [3]catenanes featuring the use of cucurbit[6]uril to simultaneously mediate the mechanical and covalent bond formations. By coupling the mechanical interlocking with covalent macrocyclization, formation of topological isomers is eliminated and th...
