Amplification of a thermodynamically unfavoured macrocyclic product through the directed shift of the equilibrium between dynamic covalent chemistry library members is difficult to achieve. We show for the first time that during condensation of formaldehyde and <i>cis</i>-<i>N,N'</i>-cyclohexa-1,2-diylurea formation of <i>inverted-cis</i>-cyclohexanohemicucurbit[6]uril (<i>i-cis</i>-cycHC[6]) can be induced at the expense of thermodynamically favoured <i>cis</i>-cyclohexanohemicucurbit[6]uril (<i>cis</i>-cycHC[6]). The formation of <i>i-cis-</i>cycHC[6] is enhanced in low concentration of the templating chloride anion and suppressed in excess of this template. We found that reaction selectivity is governed by the solution-based template-aided dynamic combinatorial chemistry and continuous removal of the formed cycHC[6] macrocycles from the equilibrating solution by precipitation. Notably, the <i>i-cis</i>-cycHC[6] was isolated with 33% yield. Different binding affinities of three diastereomeric <i>i-cis</i>-, <i>cis</i>-cycHC[6] and their chiral isomer (<i>R,R</i>)-cycHC[6] for trifluoroacetic acid demonstrate the influence of macrocycle geometry on complex formation.

Reaction of dibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11(6H)-one with 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)cyclohexylmagnesium chloride gave a mixture of stereoisomeric amino alcohols IX from which four homogeneous bases (IXa to IXd) were separated by chromatography. Dehydration of these compounds with boiling dilute hydrochloric acid afforded mixtures of racemic geometric isomers of the title compound VII, which were separated by crystallization. To the prevailing less polar base VIIa (E)-configuration was assigned on the basis of the IR spectrum. Using a similar procedure, thieno[2,3-c]-2-benzothiepin-4(9H)-one gave mixture of amino alcohols X from which three homogeneous stereoisomers X-A to X-C were isolated. Their dehydration resulted in both expected racemic geometric isomers VIII-A and VIII-B. Pharmacological testing proved the character of an antidepressant for the semi-rigid analogue of dithiadene VIII.
