A series of rigid and chiral C2-symmetric 18-crown-6 type macrocycles (S,S)-4, (S,S)-5, (S,S)-6 and (R,R)-2 bearing diamide–ester groups were synthesized. The binding properties of these macrocycles were examined for α-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium perchlorates salts by an 1H NMR titration method. Taking into account the host employed, important differences were observed in the Ka values of (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of guests for macrocycles (S,S)-4 and (S,S)-6, KS/KR = 3.6, and KS/KR = 0.1 (KR/KS = 10.3) ΔΔG = 3.19 and ΔΔG = −5.77 kJ mol−1, respectively. The results indicated excellent enantioselectivity of macrocyclic (S,S)-6 towards the enantiomers of α-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium perchlorate salts.
