Cage-annulated thiacrown ethers and thiacryptands

A series of cage-annulated sulfur-containing crown ethers and cryptands have been synthesized as possible specific metal host systems.

The crystal structures of seven compounds were determined: (4) P2₁/c, a = 15.430(3) Å, b = 7.633(2) Å, c = 15.940(3) Å, = 105.19(3)° (5) P2₁/c, a = 20.201(2) Å, b = 9.6579(9) Å , c = 18.517(2) Å, = 95.907(2)° (6) P-1, a = 7.769(2) Å, b = 8.515(3) Å, c = 17.312(5) Å, = 89.347(7)°, = 83.219(6)°, = 86.001(7)° (7) P-1, a = 8.1365(7) Å, b = 8.9605(8) Å, c = 11.630(1) Å, = 79.553(2)°, = 75.048(2)°, = 82.080(2)° (8) P-1, a = 8.298(3) Å, b = 9.720(3) Å, c = 10.033(3) Å, = 84.803(6)°, = 83.735(6)°, = 77.659(5)° (10) P2₁/n, a = 8.4300(7) Å, b = 13.980(1) Å, c = 13.975(1) Å, = 106.590(2)° (12) P2₁/n, a = 7.715(2) Å, b = 14.206(3) Å, c = 12.758(3) Å, = 91.016(5)°.     

Synthesis and structure of 4-R,5-R-[5-(hydroxy-diphenyl-methyl)-2, 2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-yl]-phenyl-methanone, a chiral ligand building block

A triphenyl analog of taddol, 4-R,5-R-[5-(hydroxy-diphenyl-methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-yl]-phenyl-methanone, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. This molecule could act as a chiral ligand building block in the creation of tuned taddol analogs. Structural analysis of the title compound reveals that the hydroxyl group is involved in an intramolecular hydrogen bond and does not take part in any intermolecular interaction. Crystal packing is influenced by C–H O hydrogen bonding and phenyl phenyl interactions. Crystal data: Triclinic, P1 (No. 1), a = 5.9343(4) Å, b = 8.2367(17) Å, c = 10.987(2) Å, = 88.290(6), = 75.442(4), = 80.655(6), V = 512.86(15) ų, Z = 1, D _calc = 1.258 mg/m³. Final residual values were R ₁ = 0.0407 for 3022 observed data (I > 2s(I) ) and wR ₂ = 0.0941 for all 3524 unique data.
