Crown ethers derived from cyclodextrin: Interaction with triphenylmethane derivatives

Periodate oxidation followed by borohydride reduction of beta cyclodextrin results in crown ether type derivatives. The polyaldehyde obtained by periodate oxidation has been reduced to polyalcohol and converted to a permethylated derivative. These macrorings are much more flexible than beta cyclodextrin itself.The interaction of beta cyclodextrin (-CD), methylated beta cyclodextrin (DIMEB), polyalcohol and permethylated crown ethers derived from beta cyclodextrin with two triphenylmethane, derivatives and their triphenyltin analogues has been studied. On the basis of the changes in the UV spectra and the solubility enhancement it can be concluded that cyclodextrins (-CD and DIMEB) form complexes only with the triphenylmethane, derivatives. On the other hand the crown ethers prepared from -CD give complexes only with the triphenyltin derivatives.

A thermodynamic study of enantiomeric recognition of organic ammonium cations by pyridino-18-crown-6 type ligands in methanol and a 1: 1 methanol-1,2-dichloroethane mixture at 25.0°C

LogK, H, andTS values for interactions of (R) and (S) enantiomers of -(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium perchlorate (NapEt), -phenylethylammonium perchlorate (PhEt), and the hydrogen perchlorate salt of 2-amino-2-phenylethanol (PhEtOH) with a series of chiral and achiral pyridino-18-crown-6 type ligands and 18-crown-6 (18C6) were determined from calorimetric titration data valid in methanol and in a 1: 1 (v/v) methanol-1,2-dichloroethane (MeOH-1,2-DCE) mixture at 25.0°C. In the MeOH-1,2-DCE solvent mixture, the chiral macrocyclic ligands exhibit excellent recognition for enantiomers of the three organic ammonium cations as shown by large differences in logK values ( logK) which range from 0.4 to 0.6 (2.5- to 4.0-fold difference in binding constants). The logK values in the solvent mixture MeOH-1,2-DCE are increased by 0.1–0.5 logK units over those in absolute methanol, indicating a favorable effect of 1,2-dichloroethane on enantiomeric recognition. In 1,2-dichloroethane, however, the interactions are too strong (logK>6) to observe the degree of recognition by a direct calorimetric method. Complexation of organic ammonium cations by these macrocyclic ligands is driven by favorable enthalpy changes. The entropy changes ure unfavorable in all cases. The thermodynamic origin of enantiomeric recognition for NapEt in 1:1 (v/v) MeOH-1,2-DCE is enthalpic, but those for PhEt and PhEtOH are entropic. Effects of the ligand structure and flexibility and of the organic cation structure on recognition and complex stability are discussed on the basis of the thermodynamic quantities. Different thermodynamic behaviors of achiral 5 and 18C6 from those of chiral macrocyclic ligands indicate a difference between chiral and achiral macrocycle interactions with the chiral organic ammonium cations. The different thermodynamic behavior of NapEt enantiomers compared to those of PhEt and PhEtOH enantiomers supports the idea that the solution complex conformation of NapEt is different from those of PhEt and PhEtOH. - interaction is absent for the PhEt and PhEtOH complexes with diesterpyridino-18-crown-6 ligands in solution. Therefore, the higher degree of enantiomeric recognition for NapEt than for either PhEt or PhEtOH by these chiral macrocyclic ligands is a result of the presence of - interaction in the NapEt system.     

Hydrophilic Films Based on Blends of Poly(acrylic acid) and Poly(2‐hydroxyethyl vinyl ether): Thermal,Mechanical, and Morphological Characterization

Hydrophilic films based on blends of poly(acrylic acid) and poly(2‐hydroxyethyl vinyl ether) were prepared by casting. The characterization of the films was performed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was shown that an increase of poly(2‐hydroxyethyl vinyl ether) content in the blends considerably decreases the glass transition temperature of the samples. The films containing 10 and 20 mol‐% of poly(2‐hydroxyethyl vinyl ether) show behavior of polymers in the glassy state, but a further increase of nonionic polymer content in the blend (30–50 mol‐%) provides the mechanical properties typical of a rubbery state. The content of water traces in the films has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the materials.

The Compressibilities of Liquid Phase Host-Guest Systems

The compressibilities of seven liquidphase, macrocyclic host-guest systems were determinedat approximately 25 °C and 3.4 × 10⁷ Pa.Each two-component system consisted of a cyclodextrin,a calixarene, or a crown ether as host and anappropriate solvent as guest. In each case studied,the host-guest system was found to be lesscompressible than the pure solvent, with thedifferences ranging from 2 to 18% of the magnitudesof the pure solvent compressibilities. These findingshave enabled us to better understand how strong,ambient pressure, intermolecular host–guestinteractions influence the compressibility ofsolutions. Both inclusion and solvationcontribute.     

Reaction of trimethylaluminum with crown ethers. III. The synthesis and crystal structure of (12-crown-4)bis(trimethylaluminum)

The crown ether 12-crown-4 reacts with trimethylaluminum in toluene to form the complex [AlMe₃]₂[12-crown-4]. Attempts to utilize the remaining two oxygen atoms for coordination to AlMe₃ molecules were unsuccessful. The 21 complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/n witha=11.342(7),b=12.941(4),c=6.973(6) Å, and =95.48(4)°. Refinement led to a finalR value of 0.047 for 925 observed reflections. The molecule resides on a crystallographic center of inversion, and as required by symmetry, the four oxygen atoms are planar. The Al–O bond is strong as revealed by the bond length of 1.977(3) Å.

Crystal structure of the 1:2 molecular complex between thecis-anti-cis isomer of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 and 3-chloro-6-methylbenzenesulphamide

Reaction of thecis-anti-cis isomer of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 with a mixture of 2-chloro-5-methylbenzenesulphamide and 3-chloro-6-methylbenzenesulphamide gives a crystalline product which has been characterized using X-ray crystallography. The complex (I) contains both isomers in a 83.0 (0.6):17.0 (0.6) ratio in favour of the 3-chloro-6-methyl-isomer. The joint crystallization of the crown ether with the mixture of the guest isomers might serve as a route for the partial extraction of one of them. The complex with host: guest ratio 1:2 crystallizes in a triclinic space group ,a=13.087(4),b=9.217(2),c=8.120(2) Å, =92.05(3),=100.52(3), =80.64(2)°, withZ=1. The structure was refined toR=0.041. Each of two equivalent guest molecules interacts with the macrocyclic ring by two NH...O hydrogen bonds, with N...O distances of 2.912(5) and 3.040(5) Å.

Porphyrin Clathrates. Crystal Structures of Two Unexpected Products Obtained by Solvothermal Reactions of Pt-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin with Copper Acetate

The X-ray crystal structure of IX, perchlorate salt of R-(–-2-ethyl-N-benzyl-4,7,19,13-tetraoxa-8,9-benzo-1-azacyclopentadec-8-ene has been determined. In the molecule, the protonated nitrogen atom participates in two N-HO hydrogen bonds. The unusually high proton affinity of aza crown ether leads to the formation of diastreomer instead of complex formation with chiral R-(+)-1-phenyl ethyl ammonium perchlorate and S-(–)-1-phenyl ethyl ammonium perchlorate. The complex ability of host ethers was evaluated in terms of structural modification.

Nature of the Ring‐Banded Spherulites in Blends of Aromatic Poly(ether ketone)s

Summary: The ring‐banded spherulites in liquid crystalline poly(aryl ether ketone) (LC‐PAEK) and poly(aryl ether ether ketone) (PEEK) blends with a higher content (>50%) of LC‐PAEK are investigated by polarizing light microscopy (PLM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. The results indicate that the light core and rings of the ring‐banded spherulites under PLM are mainly composed of an LC‐PAEK phase, while the dark rings consist of coexisting phases of PEEK and a small amount of LC‐PAEK. The formation of the ring‐banded spherulites is attributable to structural discontinuity caused by a rhythmic radial growth.

LC Method for the Determination of Multiple Components in a Compound Cold Formulation

An isocratic liquid chromatographic method for determination of acetaminophen (AMP), caffeine (CAF), chlorphenamine maleate (CPM) and guaiacol glyceryl ether (GGE) in a compound cold formulation is described. Separation and quantitation were achieved on a Diamonsil C18 column using a binary mixture of methanol and 1.5% aqueous acetic acid (55: 45, v/v, pH 3.6) as mobile phase delivered at 0.4 mL min^–1. Single wavelength detection was at 220 nm for all four drugs and the run time was < 10 min. The linearity, accuracy and precision of the method were found to be acceptable over the concentration ranges: 16.0–127.8 g mL^–1 for AMP, 6.0–48.2 g mL^–1 for CAF, 5.0–40.0 g mL^–1 for CPM and 10.1–80.6 g mL^–1 for GGE.

Synthesis of novel lariat azathia crown macrocycles containing two triazole rings and bis crown macrocycles containing four triazole rings

The 13-hydroxy macrocycles 7a-d were prepared in 40-50% yields by the condensation of 1,ω-bis(4-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylsulfany)alkanes 2a-d with 1,3-bis(2-formyphenoxy)-2-propanol (9). Acylation of 7a-d with 2-chloroacetylchloride gave the corresponding esters 11a,b. Amination of 11a,b with different amines in acetone furnished exclusively the target lariat macrocycles 12a,b and 13 in 60-70% yields. Reaction of 2 equiv. of the macrocycles 11a,b with 1 equiv. of piperazine afforded the novel bis macrocyles 14a,b in 50-60% yields. Reduction of 7a-d with NaBH₄ afforded the corresponding 13-hydroxyazathia crown ethers 15a-d in 65-70% yields.
