Two novel chiral macrocyclic dioxopolyamines, which can be used as NMR chiral solvating agents (CSAs) for chiral carboxylic acids, were synthesized from L-proline through esterification, bridging and ring-closing reaction. With the aid of orthogonal experiments the optimum reaction conditions were determined: for (8S, 18S)-1, 4, 10, 13, 16-pentaaza-tricyclo [16.3.

Article Synopsis
  • The FT-Raman and UV-visible spectra of a specific tetraazadicyclo compound and its derivatives were analyzed, with calculated harmonic vibrational wavenumbers compared to experimental data.
  • The study found that the derivatives exhibited different amide characteristics, with minimal impact from various substituents on the vibrational modes of the macrocyclic structure.
  • The use of different functional models for electronic excitation calculations revealed that the BLYP functional provided the best fit for UV-vis absorption data, highlighting the significance of strong hydrogen bonding in the compounds analyzed.
