| Biological systems exhibit exquisite selectivity in the recognition process. Preorganization and cooperativeness of functional groups often play a crucial role in biological reactions. The inherent preorgnization and synthetic modularity of resorcin[4]arene cavitands make them promising building blocks for constructing multifunctional enzyme models. There has been increasing interest in developing biologically active synthetic receptors or enzyme mimics based on resorcin[4]arene cavitand. We report here the synthesis and characterization of a resorcin[4]arene cavitand-adenosine nucleoside hybrid. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a hybrid compound between resorcin[4]arene cavitand and adenosine nucleoside. |
