TL;DR: Using a chemoenzymatic synthetic strategy, (S)-imperanene and its (R)-enantiomer has been synthesized from vanillin in nine steps using Pseudomonas cepacia lipase to induce asymmetrization of the intermediary prochiral 1,3-diol in >97% ee.

TL;DR: In this paper, a facile and efficient synthesis of novel cavitands containing eight hydroxyl groups was accomplished in eight steps beginning from commercially available resorcinol and corresponding aldehydes.

TL;DR: The authors showed intramolecular inclusion of ester moieties within the octaester cavitand cavity of octaesters and showed that the ester-coated cavit and cavity cavity can be used to detect the presence of esters.
