The synthesis of new [2]- and [3]rotaxanes through Sonogashira coupling has been accomplished in the aim to built oligo(phenyleneethynylene) (OPE) encircled by crown ethers. Optimization of the Sonogashira coupling for the formation of the [2]rotaxane (capping reaction) is presented and the best method has been applied for the synthesis of the longer [3]rotaxane.
