drogen bond can be postulated between N30 and O4 on the
basis of a short donor···acceptor distance and the calculated
position of the N30ϪH atom (for geometry see Table 4 and
Figure 2). Such a structure promotes fast release of the gu-
est from the hosting structure.

Preparation of (R,R)-(؊)-2-Hydroxy-N-[2-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylace-
tylamino)cyclohexyl]-2-phenylacetamide (7). General Procedure: Di-
cyclohexylcarbodiimide (9.0 g, 43.8 mmol) was added to a stirred
solution of (R)-(Ϫ)-mandelic acid (1; 5.3 g, 35.0 mmol), cis-1,2-
cyclohexanediamine (2.0 g, 17.5 mmol) and N-hydroxysuccinic an-
hydride (5.0 g, 43.8 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (150 mL)
at room temperature under an argon atmosphere. The reaction
mixture was stirred overnight. The solvent was removed under re-
duced pressure, and the residue, dissolved in ethyl acetate, was
washed successively with saturated sodium carbonate, water, 1
HCl, water and brine and dried over MgSO

was purified by recrystallization from MeOH to give 5.2 g of 7

General Remarks: H NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl

on a
JEOL Lambda 300 spectrometer. IR spectra were recorded with a
JASCO FT-IR 200 spectrometer. All melting points were deter-
mined using a Yanaco micro melting-point apparatus and are un-
corrected. Optical rotations were determined with Jasco DIP 1000
polarimeter. The host-guest inclusion crystals were prepared by
recrystallization of host compounds from the neat guest (solvent)
solution; the host-guest ratios were determined by thermogravi-
metric analysis (TG).
