Chiral macrocycles containing the sucrose skeleton were prepared by a ‘clickchemistry’ route. The substrate for the Huisgen reaction was obtained from sucrose in eight steps. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition yielded the intramolecular as well as the C 2 -symmetric macrocycles. Optimization of the reaction conditions allowed the preparation of both types of adducts with high selectivity and in good yields
