Self-assembly of chiral BINOL cages via imine condensation

Chiral [2+3] imine cages were constructed via imine condensation from an enantiomeric pair of BINOL-derived dialdehydes and tris(2-aminoethyl)amine and applied in the enantioselective recognition of (1 R ,2 R )- and (1 S ,2 S )-1,2-diaminocyclohexane.
