The efficient synthesis of enantiopure, trisubstituted cryptophane-A derivatives, organic host molecules with unusually high xenon affinity, is reported. Synthesis and chromatographic separation of (±) tri-Mosher's acid substituted cryptophane diastereomers gave ready access to the enantiopure cryptophanes, which are critical components in the design of enantiomerically pure (129)Xe biosensors. Hyperpolarized (129)Xe NMR spectroscopy identified single resonances for both trisubstituted cryptopha ...[more]
