Complex Formation of Crown Ethers with the Cucurbit[6]uril–Spermidine and Cucurbit[6]uril–Spermine Complex in Aqueous Solution

Alkyl amines are able to form complexes with either crown ethers or cyclodextrins or cucurbit[6]uril. The same is known for polyamines such as spermidine and spermine. However, the simultaneous formation of such polyamines with crown ethers and cucurbit[6]uril has not been studied. The ability of polyamines such as spermidine and spermine to form mixed complexes with different ligands, e.g. crown ethers and cucurbit[6]uril has been studied in aqueous solution using pH-metric and calorimetric titrations. The thermodynamic data of reaction between crown ethers with spermidine, spermine and their cucurbit[6]uril complexes have been determined. The presence of cucurbit[6]uril on the polyamines has no important influence upon the reaction of these amines with crown ethers. The reactions between polyamines, cucurbit[6]uril and crown ethers are simple examples for the self organization of molecules due to specific interactions.

A novel synthesis of 2'-hydroxy-1',3'-xylyl crown ethers

Six novel 2' - hydroxy - 1',3' - xylyl crown ethers (8a–e and 13)¹ have been synthesized utilizing the allyl group to protect the OH function during the cyclization reaction. The macrocycles 6a-e were formed in yields of 26 to 52%, by intermolecular reaction of 4 - chloro - 2,6 - bis(bromomethyl) - 1 - (2 - propenyloxy)benzene (5) with polyethylene glycols; 6a was also obtained by an intramolecular cyclization reaction of monotosylate 14.A 30-membered ring with a 2' - hydroxy - 1',3' - xylyl sub-unit was obtained in 87% yield by reaction of ditosylate 9 with bis [2 - (o - hydroxyphenoxy)ethyl]ether (11) in the presence of cesium fluoride. The synthesis of crown ethers with a 2' - hydroxy - 1',3' - xylyl sub-unit (1c–e, H for CH₃) by demethylation of the corresponding 2'-methoxy crown ethers 1c–e with lithium iodide were unsuccessful; it would appear that the demethylation reaction is restricted to 15- and 18-membered rings. One of the 2' - hydroxy - 1',3' - xylyl crown ethers 8d forms a crystalline 1:1-complex with water.     

Synthesis of Double-Armed Benzo-15-crown-5 and Their Complexation Thermodynamics with Alkali Cations

A series of double-armed benzo-15-crown-5 lariats (3–8) have been synthesized by the reaction of 4′, 5′-bis(bromomethyl)-benzo-15-crown-5 (2) with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, phenol, 4-chlorophenol, 4-methoxyphenol, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and 4-acetamidophenol in 43 ~ 82% yields, respectively. The complex stability constants (K _S) and thermodynamic parameters for the stoichiometric 1:1 and/or 1:2 complexes of benzo-15-crown-5 1 and double-armed crown ethers 3–8 with alkali cations (Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺) have been determined in methanol–water (V/V=8:2) at 25 °C by means of microcalorimetric titrations. As compared with the parent benzo-15-crown-5 1, double-armed crown ethers 3–8 show unremarkable changes in the complex stability constants upon complexation with Na⁺, but present significantly enhanced binding ability toward cations larger than the crown cavity by the secondly sandwich complexation. Thermodynamically, the sandwich complexations of crown ethers 3-8 with cations are mostly enthalpy-driven processes accompanied with a moderate entropy loss. The binding ability and selectivity of cations by the double-armed crown ethers are discussed from the viewpoints of the electron density, additional binding site, softness, spatial arrangement, and especially the cooperative binding of two crown ether molecules toward one metal ion.     

Comparative photophysical behaviour of naphthalene-linked crown ethers and aza crown ethers of varying cavity dimensions

A comparative time-resolved emission studies of several naphtho-crown ethers I–V, where metal ions can be complexed in a predetermined orientation with respect to the naphthalene (Naph) π-plane and naphthalene-linked aza crown ethers (L1 and L2) have been presented. In both the systems, crown ethers and aza crown ethers, naphthalene fluorescence gets quenched. In the systems I to V, the quenching is mainly due to efficient spin-orbit coupling (SOC) leading to greater population of the lowest triplet state of naphthalene. This SOC depends on the orientation of the crown ring with respect to the Naph-π-plane. However, in the systems L1 and L2, the quenching is due to photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from nitrogen lone pair of the aza crown ring to naphthalene moiety and consequent exciplex formation. The results have been interpreted using the time-resolved emission studies of all the compounds in various solvents, their alkali metal ion complexes, and protonated ligands.     

Thermochemical behaviour of crown ethers in the mixtures of water with organic solvents: Part VII. Enthalpy of solution of 15-crown-5 and benzo-15-crown-5 in the mixtures of water with acetone at 298.15 K

Enthalpy of solution of crown ethers (15-crown-5 and benzo-15-crown-5) in water-acetone mixtures have been measured within the whole range of mole fraction at 298.15 K. The obtained data have been compared with those of the solution enthalpy of both crown ethers in the mixtures of water with dimethyl sulfoxide. The replacement of SO group with CO in the molecule of the organic solvent brings about an increase in the exothermic effect of the solution of 15-crown-5 and benzo-15-crown-5 ethers, especially in the mixtures with a medium water content. The observed effect is connected with the preferential solvation of the molecules of both crown ethers by acetone molecules in the water-acetone mixtures. The process of preferential solvation of 15-crown-5 and benzo-15-crown-5 ethers does not take place in the water-dimethyl sulfoxide mixture.     

Crown ethers with converging neutral binding sites: Synthesis and complexation with t-butylammonium hexafluorophosphate

The influence of substituents in close proximity to crown ether cavities, on the stability of complexes of the crown ethers with t-butylammonium salts, has been investigated. Crown ethers with intra-annular donor substituents (2–4) were prepared by the reaction of 2-acetylresorcinol (1) with polyethylene glycol ditosylates and subsequent modification of the acetyl group. Crown ethers with substituents above and below the plane of the crown ether 0 atoms were synthesized by the reaction of 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-biphenyls with polyethylene glycol ditosylates. Chloromethylation of 5,5'-dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl crown ethers (6) yielded 4,4'-bis(chloromethyl)-1,1'-biphenyl crown ethers (10). 3,3'-Disubstituted-1,1'-biphenyl crown ethers (13–24) were synthesized by the reaction of 3,3'-diallyl-2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-biphenyl (12) with polyethylene glycol ditosylates. The allyl groups of 13 were isomerized with sodium hydride to propen- 1-yl groups. Ozonolysis of 13 and 14 gave the corresponding dialdehydes (15 and 18) which were converted into other 3,3'-disubstituted biphenyl-20-crown-6 derivatives (RCH₂COOMe, CH₂COOH, CH₂OH, CH₂Cl, CH₂OMe, OH and Me) by standard operations. The thermodynamic stability of the complexes of these functionalized crown ethers with t-butylammonium hexafluorophosphate has been studied in deuterochloroform in competition experiments with m-xyleno-18-crown-5 and benzo-15-crown-5 as the reference compounds. The nature of the 2-substituents in the crown ethers 2 and 3 has little effect on the stability of the complexes. The stability of the complexes of 3,3'-disubstituted biphenyl crown ethers depends of ringsize and the size and nature of the substituents. The most stable complexes are those of 24 (R = Me) and 14 (R=CH=CHMe).The Me groups in 24 represent the optimum between relief of O-O repulsion in the polyether ring and steric hindrance of complexation. The propen-1-yl substituents of 14 stabilize the complex because they provide extended π-electron donor stabilization. Substitution at the 4- and 4'-positions of the aryl groups has little effect on the stability of the complexes.     

The synthesis of unique structures of tetra-crown ethers through Michael addition

Unique structures of tetra-crown ethers were successfully synthesized by the reaction of tetramethylolmethane tetraacrylate (TMMT) reacted with crown ethers containing primary amine functional group such as 2-aminomethyl crown ethers and 4-aminobenzo crown ethers; containing secondary amine group like 1-aza crown ethers through Michael reaction. The newly synthesized tetra-crown ethers were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FAB mass spectrum, elemental analyses, IR, respectively.     

Synthesis of Double-Armed Benzo-15-crown-5 and Their Complexation Thermodynamics with Alkali Cations

A series of double-armed benzo-15-crown-5 lariats (3–8) have been synthesized by the reaction of 4′, 5′-bis(bromomethyl)-benzo-15-crown-5 (2) with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, phenol, 4-chlorophenol, 4-methoxyphenol, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and 4-acetamidophenol in 43 ~ 82% yields, respectively. The complex stability constants (K _S) and thermodynamic parameters for the stoichiometric 1:1 and/or 1:2 complexes of benzo-15-crown-5 1 and double-armed crown ethers 3–8 with alkali cations (Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺) have been determined in methanol–water (V/V=8:2) at 25 °C by means of microcalorimetric titrations. As compared with the parent benzo-15-crown-5 1, double-armed crown ethers 3–8 show unremarkable changes in the complex stability constants upon complexation with Na⁺, but present significantly enhanced binding ability toward cations larger than the crown cavity by the secondly sandwich complexation. Thermodynamically, the sandwich complexations of crown ethers 3-8 with cations are mostly enthalpy-driven processes accompanied with a moderate entropy loss. The binding ability and selectivity of cations by the double-armed crown ethers are discussed from the viewpoints of the electron density, additional binding site, softness, spatial arrangement, and especially the cooperative binding of two crown ether molecules toward one metal ion.Graphical Abstract Synthesis of Double-Armed Benzo-15-crown-5 and Their Complexation Thermodynamics with Alkali CationsYU LIU*, JIAN-RONG HAN, ZHONG-YU DUAN and HENG-YI ZHANG This revised version was published online in July 2005 with a corrected issue number.

Synthesis and structure of 13- and 26-membered crown ethers,derivatives of resorcinol

13- and 26-Membered crown ethers have been synthesized based on resorcinol and 1,8-dichloro-3,6-dioxaoctane. The products with substituents in the benzene ring have been prepared by alkylation of 13-membered crown ether. Complexing properties of the macrocycles have been studied with the use of ion-selective membrane electrodes. The structures of 13- and 26-membered crown ethers have been established by X-ray structural analysis.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Kinetic Study of the Oxidation of Catechols in the Presence of Some Aza‐crown Ethers by Digital Simulation of Cyclic Voltammograms

The electrochemical oxidation of catechols ( 1 ) have been studied in the presence of diaza‐18‐crown‐6 (DA18C6) ( 3a ), diaza‐15‐crown‐5 (DA15C5) ( 3b ), and aza‐15‐crown‐5 (A15C5) ( 3c ) as nucleophiles in aqueous solution, by means of cyclic voltammetry and controlled‐potential coulometry. The results indicate the participation of electrochemically generated o‐benzoquinones ( 2 ) in Michael‐type reaction with aza‐crown ethers ( 3 ) to form the corresponding new o‐benzoquinone‐aza‐crown ether adducts ( 5 ). Based on ECE mechanism, the observed homogeneous rate constants (k_obs) of the reaction of o‐bezoquinones ( 2 ) with aza‐crown ethers ( 3 ) were estimated by comparing the experimental cyclic voltammograms with the digital simulated results. The calculated observed homogeneous rate constants (k_obs) was found to vary in the order DA18C6>DA15C5>A15C5.     

Synthesis of novel C2-symmetric chiral crown ethers and their application to enantioselective trifluoromethylation of aldehydes and ketones

Synthesis of novel C2-symmetric chiral crown ethers and their application to enantioselective trifluoromethylation of aldehydes and ketones are discussed. The use of a series of C2-symmetric chiral crown ethers 2 or 3 derived from commercially available (R)-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol for the enantioselective trifluoromethylation of 2-naphthyl aldehyde 1a with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane in the presence of a base was attempted. Iodo-substituted crown ether 2b was found to be the most effective in the model reaction. Moderate enantioselectivities were observed for the trifluoromethylation of both aryl or alkyl aldehydes and alkyl aryl ketones in 21-44% ees. Although the ees are still improvable, this is the first example of a chiral crown ether-catalyzed enantioselective trifluoromethylation reaction.     

Komplexierungseigenschaften von Pyridinokronenethern gegenüber Alkali- und Erdalkaliionen in Methanol

Complexing Properties of Pyridino Crown Ether with Alkali and Alkali-Earth Cations in Methanol The stability constants and thermodynamic values of the complex formation of several pyridino crown ethers with alkali and alkaline-earth cations were determined by calorimetric titration in methanol. The stability of the complexes is lower than with crown ethers. This is mainly caused by a decrease of reaction enthalpies. Compared with other mono substituted crown ethers the complexes with pyridino crown ethers are fare more stable due to entropic effects. With increasing cavity size the stability constants, enthalpies and entropies for the reaction of crown ethers and pyridino crown ethers approach similar values.     

Sodium and potassium benzeneazophosphonate complexes with crown ethers: Solid-state microwave synthesis, characterization and biological activity

The eco-friendly synthesis, spectroscopic (IR, MS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR) study and biological (cytostatic, antiviral) activity of sodium and potassium benzeneazophosphonate complexes, obtained by reaction in the solid state under microwave irradiation of the alkali salts of ethyl [α-(4-benzeneazoanilino)-N-benzyl]phosphonic acid and [α-(4-benzeneazoanilino)-N-4-methoxybenzyl]phosphonic acid with crown ethers containing 18-membered (dibenzo-18-crown-6 and bis(4′-di-tert-butylbenzo)-18-crown-6), 24-membered (dibenzo-24-crown-8) and 30-membered (dibenzo-30-crown-10) macrocyclic rings, have been described. The simple work-up solvent free reaction is an efficient green procedure for the formation of mononuclear crown ether complexes in which the sodium/potassium ion is bound to oxygen atoms of the macrocycle and the phosphonic acid oxygen. The free crown ethers, alkali benzeneazophosphonate salts and their complexes were evaluated for their cytostatic activity in vitro against murine leukemia L1210, murine mammary carcinoma FM3A and human T-lymphocyte CEM and MT-4 cell lines, as well as for their antiviral activity against a wide variety of DNA and RNA viruses. The investigated compounds showed no specific antiviral activity, whereas all the free crown ethers and their complexes demonstrated cytostatic activity, which was especially pronounced in the case of bis(4′-di-tert-butylbenzo)-18-crown-6 and its complexes.     

Complex Formation of Crown Ethers and Cryptands with Alkali Metal and Ammonium Ions in Chloroform

The complex formation between different crown ethers and the cryptand [222] with alkali metal and ammonium ions in chloroform has been investigated by means of calorimetric titrations. The stability constants, reaction enthalpies and entropies for complex formation in chloroform have been determined. The complexation of alkali metal ions is favored by enthalpic contributions and influenced by both the ligand and the nature of the cation. The reaction enthalpies for complex formation of different ammonium salts with cryptand [222] are higher compared to the corresponding values for the reaction with different 18-crown-6 derivatives in chloroform due to the complete encapsulation of ammonium ion by the cryptand [222]. The benzo group attached to the crown ethers and the nature of the anion borne by the ammonium ion influence complex formation of ammonium with crown ethers. In the case of ammonium salts, competitive measurements have been carried out to underline the influence of the anion upon the complex formation. From the reaction enthalpies for complexation of ammonium ions, the contributions for the formation of hydrogen bonds are calculated using experimental data.

Complexes of crown ethers with perfluorocarboxylic acids and their thermal decarboxylation

Crown ethers form strong proton-acceptor complexes with CF₃COOH or C₄F₉COOH that undergo thermal decarboxylation at 200–260 °C which results in 60–80% of CF₃H or C₄F₉H (including up to 20 % of a mixture of C₄F₈). Critical parameters of the process were determined in relation to the temperature and amount of crown ether. The relative activities of different crown ethers in decarboxylation were also established. A scheme is proposed that explains the effect of the structure of crown ethers on this reaction. The data obtained substantiate the view that the topological correspondence concept is insufficient to explain the ability of crown ethers to form complexes with cations.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and complexing properties of double armed diaza‐15‐crown‐5 and diaza‐18‐crown‐6 ethers having 4′‐hydroxy‐3′,5′‐disubstituted benzyl groups

A series of double armed diaza‐15‐crown‐5 ethers (9a ‐ 16a) and diaza‐18‐crown‐6 ethers (9b ‐ 16b) have been prepared by the Mannich reaction of 2,6‐disubstituted phenols with the corresponding N,N'‐dimethoxymethyldiaza‐crown ethers in benzene. The crystal structures of the diaza‐18‐crown‐6 ethers having iso‐propyl (10b) , tert‐butyl (11b) , and mixed methyl and tert‐butyl groups (12b) at positions 3′ and 5′ of the phenolic side arms were determined using X‐ray diffraction methods. Competitive transport by these ligands for sodium, potassium and cesium cations were measured under basic‐source phase and acidic‐receiving phase conditions.     

Mass spectrometry of macroheterocycles. 1. Mass spectra of isomeric bicyclic crown ethers

The fundamental, fragmentation paths under electron impact of bridged crown ethers and the condensed, bicyclic crown ethers isomeric to them have been established by means of a combination of techniques (DADI, metastable defocusing, high resolution). The mass spectral criteria of the compounds in the series considered have been determined, as well as the characteristic ion peaks, the intensity of which permit the isomeric compounds to be distinguished.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 323–326, March, 1991.
