Abstract

Abstract: Macrocyclic polyethers having the 1, 3-xylyl subunit and an intraannular phenolic group have been synthesised to determine the influence of the proximate oxygen atoms of the crown ether on the chemical behavior of an intraannular substituent and, conversely, the influence of the substituent on the binding properties of the macrocycle. Williamson synthesis between 2, 6-bis (bromomethyl) anisole and the sodium salts of tri-, tetra-, and ...
