Abstract

The design and synthesis of a versatile class of macrocycles with tunable functional groups and ring size are unfolded. Herein, a synthetic strategy is reported to furnish a new class of macrocycles in multi-gram scale in a two-step reaction. The total time taken for synthesizing a macrocycle is 1.5 h. Dithiocarbamates, an important functional group in biomedical and material sciences, is strategically incorporated in the macrocyclic backbone without metal for the first time. It is noteworthy that when state-of-the-art macrocycle synthesis is in millimolar concentration, this work employs the reaction in molar concentration (0.2–0.4 M). As proof-of-principle, a library of macrocycles was synthesized, varying the functional groups and ring size. The physicochemical properties of macrocycles revealed their druggable nature and are affirmed by protein (serum albumin) interaction study theoretically and experimentally.
