Abstract The nucleophilic aromatic and vinyl substitution using diaza-18-crown-6 as nucleophile afforded a number of its N, N'-diaryl-[aryl= 2, 4-(NO 2) 2 C 6 H 3, 4-C 5 F 4 N, 4- CF 3 C 6 F 4] and N, N'-dialkenyl-substituted derivatives [alkenyl= PhC (O) CH= CH, MeOCOCH= CH,(EtO 2 C) 2 C= C (Ph), etc.]. Arylation of diaza-18-crown-6 with nonactivated aryl bromides, such as 4-Me 2 NC 6 H 4 Br, 4-MeOC 6 H 4 Br, C 6 H 5 Br, ...
