Syntheses, spectroscopic characterization and metal ion binding properties of benzo-15-crown-5 derivatives and their sodium and nickel(II) complexes

New benzo-15-crown-5 derivatives containing nitro, amine and imine groups were prepared. Nitro compound (1) was prepared after the reaction?4′,5′-bis(bromethyl)benzo-15-crown-5 and o-nitrophenol in the presence of NaOH. After reduction process by using hydrazine hydrate and Pd/C amine compound (2) was formed. New crown ether imine compounds (3–5) were synthesized by the condensation of corresponding crown ether diamine (2) with salicylaldehyde derivatives. Sodium complexes of the crown compounds (1a–5a) form crystalline 1:1 (Na⁺: ligand) complexes with sodium perchlorate. Nickel(II) complexes (3b–5b) with 1:1 (Ni²⁺:ligand) stoichiometries were also been synthesized from the Schiff bases (3–5). The results indicated that the Schiff base ligands coordinated through the azomethine nitrogen and phenolic oxygen. The extraction ability of compounds (1, 3, 4 and 5) were also evaluated in chloroform by using several alkali and transition metal picrates such as Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cr³⁺, Mn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Pb²⁺.

Complexes between disubstituted benzo-15-crown-5 ligands and sodium or potassium bromides

Stability constants have been determined with ion selective electrodes for complexes between sodium or potassium bromide in methanol with each of four crown ethers, benzo-15-crown-5 (Ia), dibromobenzo-15-crown-5 (Ib), dimethoxybenzo-15-crown-5 (Ic) and di-n-butoxybenzo-15-crown-5 (Id). Those for (Ib) were significantly lower than the others. The stability constants for complexes between sodium bromide and (Ia) and (Ib) in dimethylformamide (DMF) were found to be about one fifth of the corresponding values in methanol. The conductivity method was used to measure the ion pairing in methanol of sodium bromide alone and in the presence of (Ia), (Ib), or (Ic). Ion pairing is increased on complexation, the association constants being 3.3 mol^–1 dm³ for Na⁺ Br^– and 20–23 mol^–1 dm³ for Na(Ia–c)⁺ Br^–. The syntheses of compounds (Ic) and (Id) are described.

Mass-spectrometric investigation of ionophoric derivatives of benzo- and dibenzocrown ethers. 4. 4′-Acyl derivatives of benzo-15-crown-5 and benzo-18-crown-6

The mass spectra of 4-acyl derivatives of benzo-15-crown-5 and benzo-18-crown-6 were studied by the method of direct analysis of the daughter ions (DADI). It was established that the fragmentation of the M⁺ ions of the investigated compounds under electron impact proceeds via the scheme of the McLafferty rearrangement with the simultaneous elimination of ethylene oxide. The degree of occurrence of the McLafferty rearrangement increases with an increase in the length of the side chain.See [3] for communication 3.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 989–901, July, 1987.
