Herein we report the first example of chiral recognition and kinetic resolution of aromatic amine guests using supramolecular nanocapsules assembled from cyclodextrin derivatives in nonpolar media. With these nanocapsules, an extremely high chiral recognition of 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine (1) in cyclohexane was achieved, with a binding selectivity of up to 41 for (S)-1 over (R)-1. In addition, kinetic resolution of 1 through enantioselective N-acylation was accomplished with an enantiomeric excess of up to 91%.
