A new receptor based on a 9,9‐dimethylxanthene framework was synthesized. Owing to its suitable oxyanion hole structure, this receptor is able to associate carboxylic acids and anions. The introduction of a chiral center provides enantioselective properties to this receptor as a result of its different interactions with both enantiomers of the substrate. The combination of this skeleton with a fluorescent unit such as dansyl allows the detection of small amounts of carboxylic acids by making use of fluorescent techniques.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
