Abstract

N,N',N''-Trimethyltribenzo-1,4,7-triazacyclononatriene has been synthesized via sequential palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig N-arylation reactions affording the 9-membered triaza o-cyclophane in 35% overall yield. An X-ray crystal structure shows the new cyclophane to have a C(2)-symmetric saddle conformation, as compared to the crown conformation exhibited by the related carbocyclic cyclotriveratrylene (CTV).
