We describe the synthesis of a highly water-soluble cryptophane 1 that can be seen as a universal platform for the construction of (129)Xe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based biosensors. Compound 1 is easily functionalized by Huisgen cycloaddition and exhibits excellent xenon-encapsulation properties. In addition, 1 is nontoxic at the concentrations typically used for hyperpolarized (129)Xe MRI.

Cyclotriguaiacylene 1 is the universal precursor of cryptophanes, and represents an important intermediate for the preparation of functionalized cavitands of the cyclotriveratrylene family. Its thio analogue (cyclotrithioguaiacylene 3) was synthesized by two different routes, involving either the Newman-Kwart or the Pummerer rearrangement. The latter, performed starting from a trisulfoxide precursor, produced a purer compound in higher overall yield.
