Abstract

The easily accessible and multi-functionalized 5, 8-dimethoxy-6, 7-dihydroxy methyl-1, 4- dihydro-1, 4-methanonaphthalene (1) has been utilized as the basic building material to synthesize the symmetric bis-methanonaphthalene-fused crown ethers 14a–d (BMN-16- crown-4, BMN-22-crown-6, BMN-28-crown-8, and BMN-34-crown-10), that are constructed based on the connection between the α, β-bis-benzylic carbon atoms of diol 1 and ...
