General. NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker Avance 300-DRX or Avance 400-DRX

spectrometers. Chemical shifts (ppm) are reported relative to TMS. The 1H NMR signals of the

compounds described in the following have been attributed by COSY and NOESY techniques.

Assignments of the resonance in 13

C NMR were made using the APT pulse sequence and HSQC

and HMBC techniques. The 15

commercial products and were used as received. The synthesis and characterization of

bis(sulfonamides) 3a, the macrocycles 4a and the copper(I) complexes 6a were already reported.2

The synthesis and characterization of bis(sulfonamides) 3c-d, the macrocycles 4c-d and the

Triethylamine (2.4 mL) was added to a solution of L-valinole (0.837 g, 8.12 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (30

mL). Then trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (5.031 g, 17.8 mmol) was added dropwise to the

solution cooled to -78°C. The resulting yellow solution was heated to -30 °C and stirred overnight.

The solution was washed with HCl 0.1 M (120 mL) and brine (120 mL); organic phase was

anhydrified with Na2SO4, filtered and diluted with CH2Cl2 (30 mL). The solution was cooled to -40

°C and a solution of 1-naphthylmethylamine (0.441 g, 2.80 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was added

dropwise. After 30’, the solution was carried to room temperature. A white suspension immediately

formed. After 48 h, reaction was dried and purified by silica gel chromatography using n-

hexane:ethyl acetate = 7:3 as eluant. Main product was monoamine 2h-(2S) (560 mg, 1.50 mmol,

yield: 53%), while amine 3h-(2S,2’S) was obtained mixed with unreacted aziridine 1c and was

recrystallized from n-hexane in CH2Cl2 (182 mg, 0.310 mmol, yield: 11%). Crystals suitable for X-

Ray analysis of monoamine 2h-(2S) were obtained from CH2Cl2. Crystals suitable for X-Ray

analysis of amine 3h-(2S,2’S) were obtained by layering n-hexane (4 mL) to a CH2Cl2 solution (5

mL).

A solution of 1-naphthylmethylamine (0.306 g, 1.94 mmol) in distilled CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was

added dropwise to a solution of (S)-2-isopropyl-1-triflylaziridine 1c (0.879 g, 4.01 mmol) in

distilled CH2Cl2 (20 mL) cooled to.-40°C. After 30 minutes the solution was carried to room

temperature. A white suspension immediately formed. The reaction was followed by TLC. After 48

h the white suspension was filtered giving pure monoamine 2h-(2S) (0.226 g, 0.604 mmol, yield:

31%); pure amine 3h-(2S,2’S) (0.600 g, 1.01 mmol, yield: 52%) were obtained by layering n-

Synthesis of 6b

Copper (I) triflate benzene complex (0.0298 g, 0.0591 mmol) was added to a solution of

macrocycle 4b (0.0891 g, 0.118 mmol) in dichloroethane (10 mL). The solution was stirred at room
