Abstract
Dimeric, trimeric, and tetrameric cyclic [2]catenanes have been prepared directly through one-pot sodium-ion-templated dynamic imine formation from a diamine and a tetraaldehyde. NaBH4 mediated reduction of the labile imino bonds of these cyclic [2]catenane oligomers, followed by methylation of the resulting secondary amino groups enabled the isolation and characterization of oligomeric cyclic [2]catenanes as stable, covalently linked compounds.
