Quinolinium salt 3 is an effective additive that acts as a conformation control element (CCE) to promote macrocyclization to form rigid cyclophanes via olefin metathesis or Glaser-Hay coupling, which do not cyclize in the absence of the additive. The additives are easily synthesized and highly modifiable and have solubility profiles which allow for simple recovery via filtration.
