Conclusion

The study presents the crystal structure of a new macrobicyclic compound with specific donor atom arrangements.

Supporting Evidence

  • The compound contains two tertiary amide bridgehead N atoms.
  • It has a central cavity defined by an 18-membered ring and two 15-membered rings.
  • The toluene­sulfonamide N atom adopts an exo orientation with respect to the central cavity.

Takeaway

The researchers looked at a special molecule that has a unique shape and can hold onto certain metal ions.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized through high-dilution condensation and purified using flash column chromatography.
