Synthetic receptors and a series of new receptors were designed and synthesized for theobromine, a xanthine alkaloid used as a diuretic. The binding results of the theobromine and caffeine were also studied using NMR and UV methods. It was observed that the synthesis of the receptor H6 is achieved by Co(PPh3)3Cl-mediated homocoupling of 3-(ethoxycarbonyl)benzyl bromide 12 under mild conditions.
