Clathrate formation with Troeger base analogues

Abstract

Several quaternary Troeger base analogues, 1a and 2a–d have been prepared and their inclusion characteristics investigated. The X-ray crystal structure of a novel Troeger base analogue 1, 2,8-diphenyl-5,6,11,12-tetrahydro-5,11 -methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocine, is reported.
