Microwave-assisted fast and efficient synthesis of some crown ethers

13-Crown-4,16-crown-5,dibenzo-12-crown-4 and dibenzo-14-crown-4 were synthesized by a one-pot microwave-assisted procedure in good yields.Irradiation of diols and dichlorides in the presence of sodium hydroxide in DMSO gave title crown ethers presumably within a template effect.     

Volume and compressibility changes of complex formation between 18-Crown-6 and NaCl,KCl, and CsCl in water

The apparent molal volumes and compressibilities of NaCl, KCl, and CsCl in mixtures of 18-Crown-6 and water have been calculated from density and speed-of-sound measurements at 25°C. The partial molal volumes and compressibilities of the salts when all cations have formed complexes with 18-Crown-6 molecules have been evaluated. The sign and magnitude of the volume and compressibility changes of complex formation strongly suggest that the charge of the cation becomes very effectively screened by the crown ether.     

Synthesis of α- and/or γ-benzoyloxy-α,β-enones from α-halo-α,β-enones

Chemoselective and ligand-free synthesis of diaryl ethers in aqueous medium using recyclable alumina-supported nickel nanoparticles

An economical and eco-compatible ligand-free protocol for the synthesis of diaryl ethers has been developed using easily accessible alumina-supported nickel nanoparticles as a stable recyclable heterogeneous catalyst in aqueous medium along with a surfactant (SDS) and a mild base (K₂CO₃). Various sensitive functional groups like allyl, alkoxycarbonyl, formyl, oxo, chloro, bromo, amine and nitro were tolerated in the aforesaid method. Excellent chemoselectivity was demonstrated through competition experiments.     

Achiral Molecular Recognition of Substituted Aniline Position Isomers by Crown Ether Type Chiral Stationary Phase

To understand the selectivity of the crown ether type chiral stationary phase (CSP), the retention selectivity for aniline and the positional isomers of substituted anilines were studied. In various substituted isomers, except nitroaniline, a remarkable decrease of retention due to steric hindrance was observed for the 2-substituted isomer. To determine the detailed molecular recognition mechanism, quantum chemical calculations were performed for the aggregates between the crown ether and the anilines. The results suggested that the 20-Crown-6, which includes a phenyl-substituted 1,1′-binaphthyl moiety, interacts with alkyl and aryl amines in an unconventional form different from the proposed one for 18-Crown-6.     

Über die Kronenetherkomplexe [K(15-Krone-5)2]3[Sb3I12], [TeCl3(15-Krone-5)][TeCl5] und [TeCl3(15-Krone-5)]2[TeCl6]

On the Crown Ether Complexes [K(15-Crown-5)₂]₃[Sb₃I₁₂], [TeCl₃(15-Crown-5)][TeCl₅], and [TeCl₃(15-Crown-5)]₂[TeCl₆] Orange-coloured crystals of [K(15-crown-5)₂]₃[Sb₃I₁₂] are formed in the reaction of potassium iodide with antimony triiodide and 15-crown-5 in acetonitrile solution. An X-ray structure determination reveals severe disorder of the crown ether molecules, which coordinate to the potassium atoms in a sandwich array; so only the [Sb₃I₁₂]^3? ion and the potassium positions were ascertained. The anion is a centrosymmetric trimer (symmetry C_2h), which can be understood as central SbI₆^3? ion, coordinated by two SbI₃ molecules. (Space group C2/m), Z = 2, 3263 observed, independent reflections, R = 0.06, lattice dimensions at 20°C: a = 2541.1 pm, b = 1441.7 pm, c = 1588.4 pm, β = 113.33°. The tellurium complexes [TeCl₃(15-crown-5)] [TeCl₅] and [TeCl₃(15-crown-5)]₂[TeCl₆] are prepared by reaction of TeCl₄ with 15-crown-5 in acetonitrile solution, forming yellow-green crystals sensitive to moisture. They are characterized by their i.r. spectra.

Hexafluoroantimony(V) salts of the cationic Ti(IV) fluoride non metallocene complexes [TiF3(MeCN)3]+ and [TiF2L]2+ (L = 15-Crown-5 and 18-Crown-6). Preparation, characterization and thermodynamic stability

The cationic titanium fluoride containing complexes [fac-TiF3(MeCN)3][SbF6].MeCN (1), [trans-TiF2(15-Crown-5)][SbF6]2(2) and [trans-TiF2(18-Crown-6)][SbF6]2(2), were prepared by the reaction of TiF4, the molecular ligand and SbF5 in MeCN. Complexes 1-3 were characterized by X-ray single crystal analysis, elemental analysis, IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. Titanium tetrafluoride reacts with the SbF5 in SO2 with the formation of fac-[TiF3(SO2)3]+, detected by 19F NMR. Application of the volume-based approach to thermodynamics (VBT) offers a means, for the first time, of exploring the energetics surrounding these materials and in the thermodynamic section a discussion of this new approach is provided. It emerges that the basis of the thermodynamic driving force of formation of [TiF3L3][SbF6](s) salts, that enforces the unfavourable [DeltaH degrees =+ 237 (+/-20) kJ mol(-1)] fluoride ion transfer from the Lewis acid TiF4(s) to SbF5(l) to give the hypothetical [TiF3]+[SbF6]-(s), is the higher Ti-L (L = ligand) bond energy in the cationic complexes [TiF3L3]+ as compared to that in the molecular adducts TiF4L2(s) and SbF5L(s) so giving rise to larger enthalpies of complexation of [TiF3]+(g) by 3L(g) compared to those for complexation of TiF4(g) by 2L(g) and SbF5(g) by 1L(g). Formation of the trans-[TiF2(15-Crown-5)]2+ and trans-[TiF2(18-Crown-6)]2+ is accounted for the stabilization of [TiF2]2+ cation by the five donor acceptor Ti-O contacts and the accompanying positive charge delocalization. Cationic titanium(IV) complexes fac-[TiF3MeCN)3-nLn]+(n= 0-3) and cis-[TiF318-Crown-6)]+, trans-[TiF2(Crown)]2+(Crown = 15-Crown-5 and 18-Crown-6) were obtained in MeCN solution by the reaction of fac-[TiF3(MeCN)3]+ and L = Et2, THF, H2 or crown ethers. Complexes fac-[TiF3(MeCN)3-nLn][SbF6] L = Et2, THF, H2O, crown ethers are unstable in MeCN solution and slowly decompose giving molecular complexes cis-TiF4L2, cis-TiF4(Crown), SbF5L, titanium oxofluoride and alkoxide complexes. The structure of the fac-[TiF3(MeCN)3]+ is similar to the fac-[TiCl3(MeCN)3]+ and the complexes trans-[TiF2L]2+ L = 15-Crown-5, 18-Crown-6 have very similar geometries to that of trans-[TiCl2(15-Crown-5)]+ showing that the essential features of coordination are the same for the cationic titanium chloride and fluoride complexes with MeCN and 15-Crown-5, 18-Crown-6.

Polarographic determination of In(III) and Cd(II) in the presence of a crown ether

Summary The simultaneous determination of In(III) and Cd(II), whose reduction potentials are very close to each other, was investigated by polarography in the presence of a crown ether such as 12-Crown-4, 15-Crown-5, or 18-Crown-6. An addition of the crown ether shifts the reduction potential of In(III) towards the negative side, its current remaining unchanged, while that of Cd(II) almost did not change, also leaving the wave current constant. Therefore, the difference in reduction potentials between two ions became appreciably large for the simultaneous determination by polarography.     

Binary metallocene supported catalyst for propylene polymerization

Structural connectivity of 18-Crown-6/H+/L-tryptophan noncovalent complexes in gas phase and in solution: Delineating host–guest–solvent interactions in solution from gas phase structures

We investigate the structural correlation of noncovalent crown ether/H⁺/L-tryptophan (CR/TrpH⁺) host–guest complexes in the solution phase with those in the gas phase generated through electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (ESI/MS) techniques. We perform quantum chemical calculations to determine their structures, relative Gibbs free energies, and infrared spectra. We compare the calculated infrared (IR) spectra with the IR multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectra observed for the 18-Crown-6/TrpH⁺ complex by Polfer and co-workers [J. Phys. Chem. A 2013, 117, 1181–1188] for assigning the IR bands. We observe that the carboxyl group remains “naked,” lacking hydrogen bonding with the CR unit in the gas phase, and that this most stable conformer originates from the corresponding lowest Gibbs free energy structure in solution. Based on these findings, we propose that gas phase host–guest complexes directly correlate with those in solution, reinforcing the possibility of obtaining invaluable information about host–guest–solvent interactions in solution from the structure of the host–guest pair in the gas phase.

Apparent Molar Volumes and Adiabatic Compressibilities of Crown Ethers and Glymes in H2O and D2O at 25°C

The apparent molar volumes and adiabatic compressibilities of 18-Crown-6, 15-Crown-5, 12-Crown-4, tetraglyme, and triglyme were measured at 25°C in H₂O and D₂O. The contribution of the -CH₂CH₂O- group to the limiting partial molar volumes and compressibilities of cyclic and open-chain ethers in both solvents are compared and solvent isotope effects calculated. It is concluded, based on the compressibility results, that there is a subtle difference between the hydration of the ethene oxde group in cyclic and open-chain ethers and that this difference persists in D₂O. These results indicate that the calculation of limiting apparent molar compressibilities using additivity schemes will have to account for whether the group is in a cyclic or open-chain compound.
