Pyrrolic and imino (3) or amino (4) H-bonding ligands were incorporated into a benzene-based tripodal scaffold to develop a new generation of receptors for molecular recognition of carbohydrates. Receptors 3 and 4 effectively bound a set of octylglycoside

The cooperative nonbonded interactions present in hexaethylbenzene result in an arrangement of alkyl groups such that the 1,3,5 and 2,4,6 substituents point to opposite faces of the benzene ring. Correspondingly, derivatives of hexaethylbenzene have their functional groups convergent (meta as in 1,3,5-trisubstituted-2,4,6-triethylbenzene) or divergent (ortho, para as in 1,2-disubstituted-3,4,5,6-tetraethylbenzenes or 1,4-disubstituted-2,3,5,6-tetraethylbenzenes) due to this cooperative conformational network. To illustrate this structural feature and probe its dynamics, 1,4-di-X-2,3,5,6-tetraethylbenzenes have been synthesized. The dynamic stereochemistry of the disubstituted compounds has been studied by variable temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy. Using the same strategy, the 1,3,5-tris(CH2Y)-2,4,6-triethylbenzenes have also been prepared. The steric bulk of the substituent in the disubstituted compounds has been found to influence the barrier height. The trends found are applicable for the use of these compounds as angular building blocks for the design of ligands, polymers, and supramolecular architectures.
