Proton-ionizable crown compounds. 20. The synthesis of polyazatriazolo-, polyazabistriazolo- and bispyridono-crown ligands containing lipophilic hydrocarbon substituents

Four new macrocyclic polyaza-crown compounds containing a triazole subcyclic group and two to five lipophilic hydrocarbon substituents have been prepared from the appropriate polyamine and N-THP-protected 2,5-triazoledimethyl dichloride. N,N,N',N'-Tetrabenzyltetraazabistriazolo-18-crown-6 was prepared from N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine and N-THP-protected 2,5-triazoledimethyl dichloride. Biscyclohexano-bispyridono-18-crown-6 was prepared from trans- 1,2-cyclohexanediol and THP-protected 4-hydroxy-2,6-pyridinedimethyl ditosylate.     

Efficient syntheses and crystal structures of new benzene-containing cryptands

Seven new cryptands 3–9 containing two or three aromatic rings in one bridge were prepared in good yields by treating N,N'-bis(p-chlorophenol)-substituted diaza-18-crown-6 ( 2 ) with three oligoethylene glycol ditosylates, 1,3-propanediol ditosylate, 2,6-pyridinedimethanol ditosylate, α,α'-dibromo-o-xylene and α,α'-dibromo-p-xylene. Because of the convenient synthesis of 2 from N,N'-bis(methoxymethyl)diaza-18-crown-6 ( 1 ) and the relative ease of isolation of the cryptand products, this is an excellent method for the design of three-dimensional cavities containing aromatic fragments. In an attempt to better understand the synthetic route to the cryptands, the crystal structures of KI·2 and Na Picrate·2 were determined using X-ray analysis. In addition, crystal structure analyses of cryptands 3, 6 and 8 were used to establish their structures.     

An improved one-step method to prepare some diaza-crown ethers and the cation complexation properties of 4,10-diaza-18-crown-6 with two transition metal ions

4,10-Diaza-15-crown-5, 4,10-diaza-18-crown-6, 4,13-diaza-21-crown-7, and 4,16-diaza-24-crown-8 were prepared by an improved method from the appropriate oligothylene glycol diiodides and diamines. The thermodynamic values of log K, ΔH and ΔS for the interaction of 4,10-diaza-18-crown-6 with Pb²⁺ and Ag⁺ were determined by a calorimetric titration method and compared with thermodynamic values for interactions of 4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 with the same cations. The thermodynamic values were found to be different for the two diaza-crown ligands. 4,10-Diaza-18-crown-6 and its 4,13-diaza-crown analog formed precipitates when treated with Co²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Ni²⁺ so that no thermodynamic data are reported for these interactions.     

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.     

Syntheses of diaza-18-crown-6 ligands containing two units each of 4-hydroxyazobenzene,benzimidazole, uracil,anthraquinone, or ferrocene groups

Six new diaza-18-crown-6 ligands each containing two aromatic side arms with responsive functions were prepared. Diaza-18-crown-6 containing two 4-hydroxyazobenzene ( 3 ) or two 4 -hydroxy- 4′ -(dimethyl-amino)azobenzene ( 4 ) substituents were prepared via a one-pot Mannich reaction. Diaza-18-crown-6 containing two benzimidazole ( 5 ), two uracil ( 6 ) or two 9,10-anthraquinone ( 7 ) substituents were prepared by treating the diazacrown with the appropriate chloromethyl-containing compound. Reductive amination using sodium triacetoxyborohydride, diaza-18-crown-6 and ferrocenecarboxaldehyde was used to prepare bisferrocene-substituted diaza-18-crown-6 ( 8 ). Interactions of compounds 3 , 5 , and 6 with Na⁺, K⁺, Ba²⁺, Ag⁺, and Cu²⁺ were evaluated by a calorimetric titration technique at 25° in methanol. All three ligands form more stable complexes with Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺ ( 5 forms a precipitate with Ag⁺) than with Na⁺ and K⁺. Ligand 5 also forms a highly stable complex with Ba²⁺.

Investigation of the preparation of pyrimidine isocyanates

Uracil-5-yl isocyanate and 1,3-dimethyluracil-5-yl isocyanate were prepared from the corresponding new carboazides. 1,3-Dimethyluracil-5-ylmethyl isocyanate obtained from the chloro compound and silver cyanate, was polymerized with an anionic initiator to the cyclic trimer. Attempts to isolate uracil-6-yl isocyanate, 1,3-dimethyluracil-6-yl isocyanate, pyrimidinyl-4-isocyanate, and 2,6-dichloropyrimidinyl-4-isocyanate were unsuccessful.

Synthesis of monoalkenylated crown ethers and C-pivot cryptands

The synthesis of two N-(2-allyloxy)ethyl-substituted diaza-crowns and two C-pivot (allyloxy)methyl-substi-tuted cryptands is described. Controlled etherization of N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 with allyl bromide and sodium hydride gave N-(2-allyloxy)ethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 in a good yield. This macrocycle was reacted with sodium hydride and tetrahydrofurfuryl chloride or 3,3-dimeth-ylbutyl tosylate to give expected N-(2-allyloxy)ethyl-N'-tetrahydrofurfuryloxy)ethyl-[or (3,3-dimethylbutoxy)-ethyl]-substituted products 3 or 4 . 6,13-Dimethylenyl-14-crown-4 ( 9 ) and 9,19-dimethylenyl-20-crown-6 ( 10 ) were treated with mercuric acetate, followed by sodium borohydride in strong base to give macrocyclic diols 11 and 12 , respectively. These diols were reacted with sodium hydride and the ditosylate derivative of allyloxymethyl-substituted triethyleneglycol 13 to produce the C-pivot (allyloxy)methyl-substituted macrotri-cycles 6 and 7 .     

Synthesis of chiral azamacrocycles using the bis(α-chloroacetamide)s derived from chiral 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine

The effect of properties of water-organic solvent mixtures on the solvation enthalpy of 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6 and benzo-15-crown-5 ethers at 298.15 K

Crown ethers are preferential solvated by organic solvents in the mixtures of water with formamide, N-methylformamide, acetonitrile, acetone and propan-1-ol. In these mixed solvents the energetic effect of the preferential solvation depends quantitatively on the structural and energetic properties of mixtures. The energetic properties of the mixtures of water with hydrophobic solvents (N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, hexamethylphosphortriamide) counteract the preferential solvation of the crown ether molecules. The effect of the hydrophobic and acid-base properties of the mixture of water with organic solvent on the solvation of 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6 and benzo-15-crown-5 ethers was discussed. The solvation enthalpy of one -CH₂CH₂O- group in water, N,N-dimethylformamide and hexamethylphosphortriamide is equal to −24.21, −16.04 and −15.91 kJ/mol, respectively. The condensed benzene ring with 15-crown-5 ether molecule brings about an increase in the exothermic effect of solvation of the crown ether in the mixtures of water with organic solvent.
