Synthesis of Triple-ringed [14]Arene via Dynamic Covalent Chemistry Mechanism in Condensation Reaction of Phenols with m-Benzenedicarbaldehyde
Condensation reaction of 2-methylresorcinol with m-benzenedicarbaldehyde in the presence of HCl as a catalyst in n-propanol at 90 degrees C for 48 h proceeded via a dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) mechanism to afford a triple-ringed [14]arene in 52% yield.
