A π‑Electron Rich Cage via the Friedel–Crafts Reaction

A prism-shaped cage was obtained via the Friedel–Crafts reaction in a 2:3 mixture of trisfuryl and bis-isopropenyl precursors, in a remarkable yield of 40% considering six C–C bonds formed in a one-pot manner. The cage contains two π-electron rich trisfuryl platforms bridged in a face-to-face manner...

Description
Summary:A prism-shaped cage was obtained via the Friedel–Crafts reaction in a 2:3 mixture of trisfuryl and bis-isopropenyl precursors, in a remarkable yield of 40% considering six C–C bonds formed in a one-pot manner. The cage contains two π-electron rich trisfuryl platforms bridged in a face-to-face manner with three p-xylylene linkers. Therefore, it enables accommodation of π-electron poor guests with complementary size, including biscationic viologen.
