A rapid, safe, and efficient method for the preparation of new carbamate type molecular tweezers based on deoxycholic acid was reported. Eleven new molecular tweezers have been synthesised in good yield(91–96%). The structures of these receptors were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR, MS spectra and elemental analysis. These molecular tweezers not only recognised neutral molecules, but also showed good enantioselectivity for D-amino acid methyl esters.
