A novel synthesis of chiral rotaxanes via covalent bond formation.

Chiral rotaxanes composed of the asymmetric crownophane incorporating two hydroxy groups as a rotor moiety and the asymmetric axis were effectively synthesized via covalent bond formation, i.e. tandem Claisen rearrangement, esterification, and aminolysis.
