A well-behaved dynamic library of cyclophane formaldehyde acetals incorporating diphenylmethane units

A new well-behaved dynamic library (DL) based on acetal cyclophanes incorporating diphenylmethane units is described. The effective molarities of the first two members of this library of cyclic oligomers C2 and C3 have been obtained from concentration profiles. Amplification of the dimer in the presence of a silver template, and cross-equilibration experiments are also reported.
