A new route to the asymmetric cylindrical macrotricyclic ligands

New asymmeric cylindrical macrotricyclic ligands have been prepared containing two diaza-12-crown-4 units connected by diethyleneoxy or triethyleneoxy and meta- or para-xylylene bridges, 2-4 . These materials were prepared in three steps by first treating 6-tosyl-6-aza-3,9-dioxa-1,11-undecanediyl ditosylate with 3-oxa-1,5-pentanediamine or 3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanediamine to form ditosyl-substituted bis(diaza-12-crown-4)s connected by a diethyleneoxy or triethylencoxy bridge. These latter compounds were detosylated and treated with either para- or meta-α,α'-dibromoxylene to give new asymmetric cylindrical macrotricycles 2-4 . The solid state structure of one of these ligands, 3 , has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods.     

Proton-ionizable crown compounds. 20. The synthesis of polyazatriazolo-, polyazabistriazolo- and bispyridono-crown ligands containing lipophilic hydrocarbon substituents

Four new macrocyclic polyaza-crown compounds containing a triazole subcyclic group and two to five lipophilic hydrocarbon substituents have been prepared from the appropriate polyamine and N-THP-protected 2,5-triazoledimethyl dichloride. N,N,N',N'-Tetrabenzyltetraazabistriazolo-18-crown-6 was prepared from N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine and N-THP-protected 2,5-triazoledimethyl dichloride. Biscyclohexano-bispyridono-18-crown-6 was prepared from trans- 1,2-cyclohexanediol and THP-protected 4-hydroxy-2,6-pyridinedimethyl ditosylate.     

Efficient syntheses and crystal structures of new benzene-containing cryptands

Seven new cryptands 3–9 containing two or three aromatic rings in one bridge were prepared in good yields by treating N,N'-bis(p-chlorophenol)-substituted diaza-18-crown-6 ( 2 ) with three oligoethylene glycol ditosylates, 1,3-propanediol ditosylate, 2,6-pyridinedimethanol ditosylate, α,α'-dibromo-o-xylene and α,α'-dibromo-p-xylene. Because of the convenient synthesis of 2 from N,N'-bis(methoxymethyl)diaza-18-crown-6 ( 1 ) and the relative ease of isolation of the cryptand products, this is an excellent method for the design of three-dimensional cavities containing aromatic fragments. In an attempt to better understand the synthetic route to the cryptands, the crystal structures of KI·2 and Na Picrate·2 were determined using X-ray analysis. In addition, crystal structure analyses of cryptands 3, 6 and 8 were used to establish their structures.     

Enantiomeric recognition and separation of chiral organic ammonium salts by chiral pyridino-18-crown-6 ligands

Abstract

Optically pure allyloxy and dimethyl-substituted pyridino-18-crown-6 (8) was attached to silica gel by the following reactions. 4-Allyloxy-2,6-pyridinedimethyl ditosylate (23) was first prepared from chelidamic acid. Ditosylate 23 was treated with (S,S)-dimethyl-substituted tetraethylene glycol to form 8. Ligand 8 was treated with triethoxysilane using a platinum catalyst. The resulting chiral crown-substituted triethoxysilane 32 was reacted with silica gel in toluene at 90 C to attach the crown to silica gel. Preliminary results of the separation of [α-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]ammonium perchlorate into its (R) and (S) forms using the bound chiral crown with acetone/methanol (7/3) (v/v) as the eluant are reported. The preparation of chiral dimethyl(allyloxyphenyl)pyridino-18-crown-6 (9) that could be attached to silica gel on the side opposite to the pyridine ring is also reported.     

Synthesis of chiral azamacrocycles using the bis(α-chloroacetamide)s derived from chiral 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine

Optically active diphenyl-substituted tetraaza-12-crown-4 diamide ( 10 ), tetraaza-15-crown-5 diamide ( 12 ), tetraaza-18-crown-6 diamide ( 11 ), and hexaaza-18-crown-6 diamide ( 9 ) ligands were prepared by treating the appropriate secondary diamines with the (R,R)- and (S,S)- forms of 1,2-bis(N-methyl-α-chloracetamido)-1,2-diphenylethane ( 20 ). Macrocyclic diamides 9 and 10 were reduced to form the optically active diphenyl-substituted hexaaza-18-crown-6 ( 13 ) and tetraaza-12-crown-4 ( 14 ), respectively. Reduction of macrocyclic diamide ligands 11 and 12 gave a complex mixture of products from which the desired tetraaza-15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 compounds could not be isolated. Dichloride 20 was prepared by treating the chiral forms of 1,2- diphenylethylenediamine with chloroacetic anhydride or chloroacetyl chloride. The crystal structures for the (R,R)-form of dichloride 20 and the (S,S)-forms of macrocycles 10 and 11 are reported.     

Synthesis of monoalkenylated crown ethers and C-pivot cryptands

The synthesis of two N-(2-allyloxy)ethyl-substituted diaza-crowns and two C-pivot (allyloxy)methyl-substi-tuted cryptands is described. Controlled etherization of N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 with allyl bromide and sodium hydride gave N-(2-allyloxy)ethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 in a good yield. This macrocycle was reacted with sodium hydride and tetrahydrofurfuryl chloride or 3,3-dimeth-ylbutyl tosylate to give expected N-(2-allyloxy)ethyl-N'-tetrahydrofurfuryloxy)ethyl-[or (3,3-dimethylbutoxy)-ethyl]-substituted products 3 or 4 . 6,13-Dimethylenyl-14-crown-4 ( 9 ) and 9,19-dimethylenyl-20-crown-6 ( 10 ) were treated with mercuric acetate, followed by sodium borohydride in strong base to give macrocyclic diols 11 and 12 , respectively. These diols were reacted with sodium hydride and the ditosylate derivative of allyloxymethyl-substituted triethyleneglycol 13 to produce the C-pivot (allyloxy)methyl-substituted macrotri-cycles 6 and 7 .     

Syntheses of diaza-18-crown-6 ligands containing two units each of 4-hydroxyazobenzene,benzimidazole, uracil,anthraquinone, or ferrocene groups

Six new diaza-18-crown-6 ligands each containing two aromatic side arms with responsive functions were prepared. Diaza-18-crown-6 containing two 4-hydroxyazobenzene ( 3 ) or two 4 -hydroxy- 4′ -(dimethyl-amino)azobenzene ( 4 ) substituents were prepared via a one-pot Mannich reaction. Diaza-18-crown-6 containing two benzimidazole ( 5 ), two uracil ( 6 ) or two 9,10-anthraquinone ( 7 ) substituents were prepared by treating the diazacrown with the appropriate chloromethyl-containing compound. Reductive amination using sodium triacetoxyborohydride, diaza-18-crown-6 and ferrocenecarboxaldehyde was used to prepare bisferrocene-substituted diaza-18-crown-6 ( 8 ). Interactions of compounds 3 , 5 , and 6 with Na⁺, K⁺, Ba²⁺, Ag⁺, and Cu²⁺ were evaluated by a calorimetric titration technique at 25° in methanol. All three ligands form more stable complexes with Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺ ( 5 forms a precipitate with Ag⁺) than with Na⁺ and K⁺. Ligand 5 also forms a highly stable complex with Ba²⁺.     

Synthesis and Complexation Properties of Pyrimidine-Derived Crown Ether Ligands

Five new proton-ionizable macrocyclic ligands containing a pyrimidone-subcyclic unit, 6–10 , were prepared from the previously prepared pyrimidinocrown ethers 1–5 (see Figure 1 and Scheme 1). One of the new proton-ionizable crown ethers is chiral. The proton-ionizable pyrimidonocrown ethers were prepared in high yields by treating the appropriate methoxy-substituted pyrimidinocrown with 5 M sodium hydroxide in a 50% alcohol-water mixture. Complexation properties of four of the pyrimidine-derived macrocycles were studied by various nmr techniques. Pyrimidono-18-crown-6 (9) forms a strong complex with benzylammonium perchlorate and also forms a complex with benzylamine. (S, S)-Dimethyl-substituted pyrimidino- and pyrimidono-18-crown-6 ligands 4 and 9 form stronger complexes with the (R)-form of α-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium perchlorate than with the (S)-form. (S, S)-Dimethyl-substituted pyrimidono-18-crown-6 ( 9 ) also forms a stronger complex with (R)-α-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine than with the (S)-form. The crystal structure for compound 7 is reported.     

The Synthesis and Formation of Complexes between Derivatives of Chiral Aza-18-Crown-6 Ethers and Chiral Primary Organic Ammonium Salts

Chiral mono aza-18-crown-6 derivatives have been prepared in optically active form and high yield from amino alcohols via a cyclization reaction with tetraethylene glycol ditosylate.The enantiomeric recognition by these chiral aza-crown ethers between chiral primary ammonium perchlorate salts has been characterized by UV–Vis at 25 °C in chloroform.     

Studies of Activity Coefficients for Ternary Systems: Water + 18-Crown-6 + Alkali Chlorides at 298.15 K

Osmotic vapor pressure measurements have been carried out for three ternary systems, H₂O + 0.2 m 18-crown-6 + LiCl, H₂O + 0.2 m 18-crown-6 + NaCl and H₂O + 0.2 m 18-crown-6 + KCl at 298.15 K using vapor pressure osmometry. Water activities for each ternary system were measured and used to calculate the activity coefficients of 18-crown-6 (18C6) and its salts following the methodology developed by Robinson and Stokes for isopiestic measurements. In the concentration range studied, it was found that (in NaCl and KCl solutions) there is considerable lowering of activity coefficients of one component in the presence of other solutes that has been attributed to the formation of the complexed 18C6:Na⁺ (or 18C6:K⁺) species in solution. The Gibbs energies of transfer of alkali chlorides from water to aqueous 18C6 solutions and that of 18C6 from water to aqueous electrolyte solutions have been calculated. These were further used to evaluate the pair and triplet interaction parameters. The calculation of thermodynamic equilibrium constants using the pair interaction parameter, g _NE (i.e., the nonelectrolyte–electrolyte pair interaction) for the studied complexation of cations yields values which are in good agreement with those reported in literature obtained by using ion-selective potentiometry and calorimetry. The results are discussed in terms of water structural effects, complex formation, and hydrophobic interactions.     

Inclusion [2]complexes based on the cryptand/diquat recognition motif

Seven diquat-based inclusion [2]complexes were studied by proton NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and X-ray analysis. The hosts used in these inclusion [2]complexes are bis(5-hydroxymethyl-1,3-phenylene)-32-crown-10, a bis(m-phenylene)-26-crown-8-based cryptand, and five bis(m-phenylene)-32-crown-10-based cryptands. Bis(m-phenylene)-32-crown-10-based cryptands have been proved to be able to complex diquat much more strongly than bis(m-phenylene)-32-crown-10 itself and one containing a pyridyl moiety has one of the highest K_a values reported to date. These hosts form 1:1 complexes with diquat in solution and in the solid state. It was found that the improved binding from bis(m-phenylene)-32-crown-10 to bis(5-hydroxymethyl-1,3-phenylene)-32-crown-10 was due to a supramolecular cryptand structure formed by chelation of the two terminal OH moieties of bis(5-hydroxymethyl-1,3-phenylene)-32-crown-10 with a water molecule as a hydrogen-bonding bridge.     

Potassium Bromide/m-Chloroperbenzoic Acid/18-Crown-6. A Convenient Reagent for the Preparation of trans 1,2-Bromocarboxylates

In the presence of 18-crown-6 (10 mmol%), potassium bromide reacts with m-CIPBA to form m-chlorobenzoylhypobromite. The latter readily adds across carbon-carbon double bonds to furnish 1,2-bromocarboxylates in a highly regio- and stereospecific manner.     

Preparation of N,N′-di pivot lariat 1,4-diaza-15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 macrocycles

Twelve diaza-15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 macrocycles containing different side arms on the nitrogen atoms have been prepared. These diaza-N,N'-di pivot lariat crown ethers were prepared either from N,N'-bishydroxyethyl-1,4-diaza-15-crown-5 or 18-crown-6 ligands or from the corresponding unsubstituted diaza-crowns.     

Novel synthesis of polyureas by ring-opening polyaddition-condensation reaction of 2-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-one with diamines

A novel method for the synthesis of polyureas has been developed. This method involves ring-opening addition reaction of 2-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-one with diamines, bis(4-aminophenyl) ether, 4,4′-methylenedianiline and m-xylylenediamine, followed by self-polycondensation of the resulting ring-opened adducts. Polymerizations in m-cresol at 150°C proceeded fast and were almost completed within 5 h. Polyureas were produced with reduced viscosities up to 0,38 dL · g⁻¹. A model compound study was performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the reaction for the formation of polyureas.

Influence of structure of 1,1,3-trimethyl-5-carboxy-3-(p-carboxyphenyl)indan upon polyamide properties

Copolyamides of nylon 66 and 1,1,3-trimethyl-5-carboxy-3-(p-carboxyphenyl)indan (PIDA) were prepared by melt polycondensation of nylon 66 salt with PIDA in combination with hexamethylenediamine, trans-1,4-cyclohexanebis(methylamine), and m-xylylenediamine. In addition, hexamethylenediamine-PIDA was incorporated into the copolymer system of nylon 66–poly(hexamethylene terephthalamide). The effect of PIDA upon the intrinsic viscosity, crystallinity, density, melting point, moisture regain, tenacity, initial modulus, and the boiling-water shrinkage of such polyamides was determined. Particular emphasis was placed upon the influence of PIDA on the glass transition temperature of the polyamides. The effect of moisture on the glass transition temperature was also discussed. The physical properties of PIDA copolymers indicate that crystallinity virtually disappears above 20 mole-% PIDA concentration; however, the glass transition temperature measured at 0 and 30% RH increases sharply with increased PIDA concentration.     

An improved one-step method to prepare some diaza-crown ethers and the cation complexation properties of 4,10-diaza-18-crown-6 with two transition metal ions

4,10-Diaza-15-crown-5, 4,10-diaza-18-crown-6, 4,13-diaza-21-crown-7, and 4,16-diaza-24-crown-8 were prepared by an improved method from the appropriate oligothylene glycol diiodides and diamines. The thermodynamic values of log K, ΔH and ΔS for the interaction of 4,10-diaza-18-crown-6 with Pb²⁺ and Ag⁺ were determined by a calorimetric titration method and compared with thermodynamic values for interactions of 4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 with the same cations. The thermodynamic values were found to be different for the two diaza-crown ligands. 4,10-Diaza-18-crown-6 and its 4,13-diaza-crown analog formed precipitates when treated with Co²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Ni²⁺ so that no thermodynamic data are reported for these interactions.     

Thermal study of an epoxy system DGEBA (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>=0)/mXDA modified with POSS

The thermal degradation of the epoxy system diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA n=0) and m-xylylenediamine (mXDA) containing different concentrations of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) nanoparticles was studied by thermogravimetric analysis in order to determine the influence of both, the POSS concentration and the curing cycle on the degradation process and to compare it with the results for the non modified system. Glass transition temperatures for the same systems were also determined by differential scanning calorimetry. Different behaviors have been observed, depending on the POSS concentration and on the curing selection.     

Synthesis of a new 24-membered tetramide macrocycle and X-ray crystal structure determination

The synthesis and characterization of a new 24-membered tetramide macrocycle (6) related to Leigh's macrocycles and catenanes is reported. The replacement of p-xylylenediamine (Leigh) by m-xylylenediamine (this work) strongly modifies the geometry and properties of the new macrocycle. NMR spectroscopy (in DMSO?d₆ solution) and X-ray crystallography have been used to characterize compound 6. The structural features in the crystal (conformational aspects and H-bonding) have been discussed comparatively to two similar macrocycles NEWHIJ and UJUNOC.     

Crowned polyacetylene. 2. cis form determination of poly(4′-ethynylbenzo-15-crown-5) by solid-state NMR method

The chain structure of cis-poly(4′-ethynylbenzo-15-crown-5) (PEB15C5), prepared using the rhodium complex catalyst, was studied at ?175°C using the solid-state NMR technique. The second moment of PEB15C5 was 7.0 G² for the main chain and 19.0 G² for the side chain. These values agreed well with the respective theoretical ones for the cis form in the rigid state rather than the trans one. This agreement between experiment and theory suggested that the plane of the side chain (i.e., the benzo-15-crown-5 group) is orthogonal to the main chain plane of the cis-transoidal form. It was verified that the strong dipoledipole interaction between the side chains plays an important role as a clue to theoretically determine the cis-transoidal form. NMR results in solid state confirmed theoretically that multipeaks in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra in CDCl₃ solution are attributed to cis-transoidal form in the chain. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
