Inherently chiral molecular clips (MCs), pseudoenantiomeric anti ‐ 1 and anti ‐ 2 , as well as mesoid syn ‐ 3 , were synthesized by diastereodifferentiating repetitive Diels–Alder reactions of the achiral bisdienophile 6 with chiral diene 5 generated in situ from (−)‐menthyl 3,4‐bis(dibromomethyl)benzoate 4 . These MCs were successfully separated by chiral HPLC to give optically active anti ‐ 1 and anti ‐ 2 and almost optically inactive syn ‐ 3 . The structures of anti ‐ 1 , anti ‐ 2 , and syn ‐ 3 were assigned by high‐resolution NMR and the absolute configurations of anti ‐ 1 and anti ‐ 2 were determined by the exciton‐chirality method. Optically active anti ‐ 2 can serve as a chiral host. It binds the HCl adduct of D ‐tryptophan methyl ester ( D ‐TrpOMe ⋅ HCl) 3.5 times stronger than the L ‐enantiomer ( K D / K L =3.5).
