Abstract
A synthetic route to produce a new family of trisulfonated calix[4]arenes bearing a single group, selectively introduced, that lines the binding pocket is reported. Ten examples, including new sulfonamide and biphenyl-substituted hosts, each with additional binding elements, demonstrate the tuning of guest affinities and selectivities. NMR titrations in phosphate-buffered water show that one of the new hosts binds to the modified amino acid trimethyllysine with the highest affinity and selectivity observed to date.
