Cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) is a macrocyclic cyclophane presenting a bowl-shaped conformation, used as building block to construct cryptophane and hemicryptophane capsules. A method to synthesize new enantiopure CTV derivatives with an unprecedented spatial arrangement of their substituents, exhibiting C1 symmetry, is described. The absolute configuration was assigned by ECD spectroscopy coupled with modeling. A statistical model has allowed for optimization of the proportion of C1 CTV, and the modularity of this approach is also highlighted.
