Molecular threads I–III incorporating 1,3,5‐cycloheptatriene units have been synthesized by three methods. Bridges were designed as ether (9, 14, 18 and 22), ester (4 and 14) and amino functions (25), respectively, The attachment of a second aryl residue at the seven‐membered ring by nucleophilic attack of activated aromatic compounds such as anilines on tropylium salts resulted in the formation of two regioisomers (26 and 27). The macrocycles 28 were formed under high dilution conditions in good yields.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
