Intramolecular hydroalkoxylation catalyzed inside a self-assembled cavity of an enzyme-like host structure

Abstract

Self-assembled resorcin[4]arene hexamer catalyzes the intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of unsaturated alcohols to the corresponding cyclic ethers under mild conditions. The mode of catalysis and encapsulation-based substrate selectivity of the host efficiently mimic the basic principle of operation observed in enzymes.
