The syntheses and complexing properties of oxo-12-crown-3 and oxo-18-crown-5

Derivatives of 12-crown-4 and 18-crown-6 in which one of the ethereal oxygens is replaced by a CO group have been synthesised and their complexing abilities towards both metal and organic cations have been assessed. Variable temperature ¹H decoupled ¹³C n.m.r. spectroscopy reveals the presence of anisometric species in solution when a $\text{1}$:1 complex is formed between oxo-18-crown-5 and (S)-PhCHMeNH₃⁺ClO₄.     

Chiral recognition properties of chiral 18-crown-6 ethers with aromatic substituents

The chiral recognition properties of chiral 18-crown-6 ethers with phenyl, 1-naphthoxymethyl, 1-naphthylmethyl, or 2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenylmethyl substituents for -phenylglycine methyl ester and 1-phenylethylamine perchlorate were investigated by a standard extraction procedure. The chiral recognition factor of 1-naphthoxymethyl substituted crown ether is 2.0 for the former salt but near 1.0 for the latter, whereas that of the other crown ethers is not so dependent on the structure of salts, which indicates the importance of the mutual relation of the structure of host and quest molecules.     

Synthesis and complexing properties of bis-crown ethers incorporating benzo-15-crown-5 and metallocene

Bis-crown ethers in which the benzo-15-crown-5 units were linked to 1,1′-positions of metallocene (M = Fe or Ru) with amide, ester, or ? C? C? bonds were synthesized. Complexing ability of the compounds with alkali, alkali earth, and transition metal cations were measured by the solvent extraction method. The results showed that these crown ethers had high affinity toward alkali metal cations (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, and Rb⁺) and heavy-metal cations (Ag⁺ and Tl⁺). The difference of complexing ability for metal cations between ferrocene and ruthenocene derivatives could not be detected significantly. The extractability of metallocene-bis-crown ethers for metal cations was more larger than that of the corresponding mono-crown ethers, and irregular increments of extractability were explained by assuming the existence of a mixture of 1:1 and 2:1 complexes.     

Synthesis and complexation properties of photochromic benzochromenes containing aza-and diaza-18-crown-6-ether fragments

Complex formation of Mg²⁺, Ba²⁺, and Pb²⁺ perchlorates with 3,3-diphenyl-3H-benzo[f]chromenes containing aza-and diaza-18-crown-6-ether or morpholine fragments was studied. The strong influence of the metal cations on the spectral characteristics of these organic ligands and on the kinetic of photochromic transformations was found. The results obtained were explained by the formation of carbonyl-“ capped” complexes of various structures.

Potentiometric study of complexation of phenylaza-15-crown-5, 4-nitrobenzo-15-crown-5 and dibenzopyridino-18-crown-6 and other derivative of 18-crowns-6 with Na+ ion in methanol

The complexation reaction of phenylaza-15-crown-5, and 4-nitrobenzo-15-crown-5, benzo-15-crown-5 and dibenzopyrdino-18-crwon-6, dibenzo-18-crown-6,dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6(cis and trans), and 18-crown-6 with Na⁺ ion in methanol have been studied by potentiometric method. The Na⁺ ion-selective electrode has been used both as indicator and reference electrode. The stoichiometry and stability constants of complexes of these crown ethers with sodium ion were evaluated by MINIQUAD program. The major trend of stability of resulting complexes of these macrocycle with Na⁺ ion varied in the order DCY18C6 > DB18C6 > 18C6 > DBPY18C6 > phenylaza-15C5 > benzo-15C5 > 4-nitrobenzo-15C5. The obtained results in particular stability constant of complexes of DBPY18C6, phenylaza-15C5 and 4-nitrobenzo-15C5 with sodium ion in comparison with other crowns ether are novel, and interesting.

Proton-ionizable crown compounds. 19. The synthesis of chiral dialkyl-substituted triazolo-18-crown-6 macrocycles

Four new chiral macrocyclic polyether ligands containing the proton-ionizable triazole subcyclic unit have been prepared. The triazolo-crowns contain two isopropyl, two isobutyl, two (S)-sec-butyl or two benzyl substituents on chiral macro ring carbon atoms. A racemic triazolo-18-crown-6 containing two (1-naphthoxy)methyl substituents was also prepared.     

Effects of complexation with 18-crown-6 on the hypernucleofugality of phenyl-lambda3-iodanyl groups. Synthesis of vinyl-lambda3-iodane.18-crown-6 complex

[structure: see text] 4-tert-Butyl-1-cyclohexenyl(phenyl)(tetrafluoroborato)-lambda(3)-iodane forms a discrete supramolecular complex by the reaction with 18-crown-6. Solvolysis of the cyclohexenyl-lambda(3)-iodane in the presence of 18-crown-6 indicates that the complexation with 18-crown-6 tends to decrease the leaving group ability of hypervalent phenyl-lambda(3)-iodanyl groups.     

Asymmetric [2,3]wittig rearrangement involving chiral potassium azaenolates. The dramatic influence of the potassium counterion and its complexation with 18-crown-6

The diastereoface selection is described in the title rearrangement of chiral 2-oxazoline systems either in the absence or the presence of 18-crown-6. The dramatic effects of the K⁺ counterion and its complexation with the crown ether are noted.     

Syntheses of dibenzo-18-crown-6 lariat isomers and their complexation with lanthanoid nitrates

Two constitutional isomers of dibenzo-18-crown-6 derivatives (6 and 7) were synthesised and their binding behaviours towards trivalent lanthanoid cations (La^3 + , Ce^3 + , Pr^3 + , Nd^3 + , Sm^3 + , Eu^3 + , Gd^3 +  and Tb^3 + ) were investigated. Both isomers expressed better binding affinities towards Sm^3 +  and Tb^3 +  than a group of other lanthanoids, as measured by the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) band intensity at ca. 425 nm using UV–vis spectroscopic method. Additionally, the trans isomer 7 was shown to have a higher binding ability than the cis isomer 6 towards Tb^3 + .

     

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.     

Elaboration of a chiral 20-crown-6 from a glucofuranose derivative and its complex formation with alkali cations

The synthesis of bis-(1,2-O-isopropylidene-6-O-triphenylmethyl-α-D-glucofuranosyl)-20-crown-6 ( 1 ) and its complexing ability with alkali and ammonium cations are described. The crown ether 1 was synthesized in a stepwise manner via the “half-crown” ( 2 ) using a blocking-deblocking procedure, in which the 3,3′-bridge was formed, followed after suitable manipulations, by formation of the 5,5′-bridge. An unusual feature of the complexing ability of the crown ether is that, although potassium and ammonium ions most closely approach the size of the complexing cavity, it is the sodium ion which forms the most stable complex. Compound 1 does not show chiral recognition toward two alkylammonium salts.     

Preparation and evaluation of novel chiral stationary phases covalently bound with chiral pseudo-18-crown-6 ethers

Novel chiral stationary phases consisting of silica gel covalently bound with chiral pseudo-18-crown-6 type hosts, which possess either an OH or OMe group as a binding functionality, were prepared for enantiomer-separation of lipophilic amines.
