The rotaxane configuration is a flexible platform for building functional synthetic nanomachines among various interlocked molecular structures. A rotaxane consists of a linear segment and a cyclic component linked by noncovalent bonds. However, the complex synthesis of rotaxanes limits their applications. Active template synthesis is one method for producing rotaxanes, with crown ethers being ideal candidates due to their well-studied properties and easy availability. Crown Ether Active Template Synthesis (CEATS) allows for the rapid and straightforward synthesis of rotaxanes. Streamlining the synthesis process will facilitate broader research and practical applications of these compounds. This article details the synthesis of rotaxanes (5a) and (5b) via the CEATS method, with the chemical structures confirmed by 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and FT-IR spectroscopy.
