Abstract
The Schotten-Baumann reaction between a diamine with a central bitolyl unit and terephthaloyl chloride in the presence of heptakis(2,6-di-0- methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (Dm-beta-CD) in dilute solution affords the [2]catenanes 1 and 2 as well as two analogous [3]catenanes, in which t wo DM-beta-CD units are threaded on a tetrakislactam ring. In catenane 1 the bitolyl unit is found to be situated inside the cyclodextrin to rus.
