Abstract
Shape-selective recognition for the dicarboxylates in DMSO can be attained by a new calix[4]arene-based receptor 1 having two urea groups. Biologically active chorismate selectively bound in 1 over its dehydrated derivative. Molecular mechanics calculations gave a plausible explanation for the selective binding.
