Abstract: | A high yielding (93%), regiospecific synthesis of cis(4,4')-di(carbomethoxybenzo)-30-crown-10 (1c) is reported. The derived crown ether diol 1d was converted to pyridyl cryptand 12 in 44% yield by reaction with pyridine-2,6-dicarbonyl chloride. Binding of two different 4,4'-bipyridinium (paraquat) species (3) and 2,2'-bipyridinium (diquat) 4 by 12 was explored via (1)H NMR spectroscopy, NOE experiments, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallographic analyses, and isothermal titration calorimetry. Cryptand 12 exhibits the highest association constant for diquat ever reported (Ka = 1.9 x 10(6) M(-1)) and very high association constants for paraquats (Ka > 10(5) M(-1)) in acetone at 22 degrees C. The binding constant of diquat 4 by cryptand 12 is nearly 6-times higher than any other reported host. |
