Abstract
We report the unexpected result of the reaction of 1,3-bis[(9-anthrylmethox y)methyl]benzene (1a) or 1,3,5 -tris [(9-anthrylmethoxy)methyl]benzene (1b) with tris(2-maleimidoethyl)amine (2) in homogeneous solution leading to gi ant bis(bicyclic) and crypt-tris(bicyclic) molecules. The anticipated, intr actable solids are obtained in a condensed state reaction using an oscillat ing mill.
