In this work, we report Pd-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of (+)-α-bromoenone, obtained from monoterpene β−pinene, into an enantiopure cyclotrimer. This C3 symmetric compound has three bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane rings fused to its central benzene with each ring carrying a carbonyl group. The cyclotrimer undergoes diastereoselective threefold alkynylation with lithium salts of five terminal alkynes (41–63%, de% = 4–83). The addition enabled a rapid synthesis of a small library of novel chiral cavitands that in shape resemble a tripod stand. These molecular tripods include a tris-bicycloannelated benzene head attached to three alkyne legs twisted in one direction to form a nonpolar cavity with polar groups as feet. Tripods with methylpyridinium and methylisoquinolinium legs, respectively, form inclusion complexes with anti-inflammatory and chiral drugs (R)/(S)-ibuprofen and (R)/(S)-naproxen. The mode of binding shows drug molecules docked in the cavity of the host via ion-ion, cation−π, and C-H−π contacts that, in addition of desolvation, give rise to complexes having mM to μM stability in water. Our findings open the door for creating a myriad of enantiopure tripods with tunable functions that, in the future, may give novel chemosensors, catalysts or sequestering agents. Abundant natural product β−pinene can be rapidly converted into a library of chiral hosts that we call molecular tripods. As tripods complex chiral drugs in water, they hold promise for discovering and building novel sequestering agents, chemosensors or catalysts.
