Syntheses of Azacrowns

  • Chapter
Macrocyclic Polyether Syntheses

Part of the book series: Reactivity and Structure Concepts in Organic Chemistry ((REACTIVITY,volume 13))

Abstract

Almost as soon as Pedersen announced his discovery of the crown ethers (see Chaps. 2 and 3) it was recognized by many that these species were similar to those prepared by Busch and coworkers for binding coinage and transition metals (see Sect. 2.1). The latter compounds contained all or a predominance of nitrogen and sulfur (see also Chap. 6) in accordance with their intended use. The crown ethers and the polyazamacrocycles represented two extremes in cation binding ability and preparation of the intermediate compounds quickly ensued. In the conceptual sense, monoazacrowns are the simplest variants of the macrocyclic polyethers and these will be discussed first.
